  • Microfluidic viscometer
    Patent number: 7040144
    Abstract: Microfluidic devices, systems, and methods measure viscosity, flow times, and/or pressures, other flow characteristics within the channels, and the measured flow characteristics can be used to generate a desired flow. Multi-reservoir pressure modulator and pressure controller systems, electrokinetic systems and/or other fluid transport mechanisms can generate the flow, controllably mix fluids, and the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2006
    Assignee: Caliper Life Sciences, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Spaid, Andrea W. Chow, Benjamin N. Wang, Ring-Ling Chien, J. Wallace Parce, Anne R. Kopf-Sill, Josh Molho, Anubhav Tripathi, Matthew B. Kerby
  • Microparticles having a matrix interior useful for ultrasound triggered delivery of drugs into the bloodstream
    Publication number: 20030215394
    Abstract: A microparticle composition is provided for delivery of a pharmaceutical agent by ultrasound triggering. The microparticles have a porous, gas-containing interior polymer matrix and a plurality of cavities in the matrix which contain a gas and the agent. Methods for forming the microparticles and their use in ultrasonic diagnostic imaging and drug delivery are also provided.
