  • MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE FOR CELL CULTURE AND SCREENING AND RELATED PRODUCTION METHOD
    Publication number: 20230235260
    Abstract: A microfluidic device for cell culture and screening, including a covering element with a plurality of openings configured for introducing and collecting fluids, and a central through hole; an intermediate element with a plurality of microchannels, a plurality of supply tanks and at least one waste tank, and a blind bottom cavity; a lower element, with a collecting tank and a recessed central portion; and a slide housed in a housing pocket. The intermediate element is interposed between the covering element and the lower element to form an upper optical window and at least one culture chamber. The plurality of microchannels puts in fluid communication the plurality of supply tanks, the at least one culture chamber and the waste tank.

  • Nanoporous substrates for the analytical methods
    Patent number: 8753897
    Abstract: Nanoporous materials can be used to enrich samples for subsequent analysis of substances contained in the sample. The method is shown to enrich the yield of species in the low molecular weight proteome, allowing detection of small peptides in the low nanomolar range.

  • Concentrator and locator device of a solute and method for concentrating and locating a solute
    Patent number: 8749777
    Abstract: Concentrator and locator device (1) of a solute comprising a substrate (2) and a plurality of prismatic lithographic micro-structures (4) orthogonally emerging from the substrate (2). The microstructures (4) are spaced from one another in a periodical manner so as to make such a substrate (2) super-hydrophobic.

  • METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN OPTICAL DETECTION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20110265305
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing an optical detection device includes producing metal nanospheres on a substrate (2). The process also includes the following operations: producing (100) on the substrate (2) lithographic nanostructures (4a, 4b, 4c) capable of receiving the metal nanospheres,—performing (102) a self-aggregative deposition of at least one metal in such a way as to create a respective metal nanosphere in each lithographic nanostructure (4a, 4b, 4c).
