  • Sonication to selectively lyse different cell types
    Patent number: 7785869
    Abstract: A sonication apparatus is directed to a microfluidic-based system to automate differential extraction of specific cell types within a mixed sample. The microfluidic-based system includes a sonication module for selective cell lysis, separating means to eliminate centrifugation, high surface area pillar chip modules to purify DNA from a cell lysate, and microfluidic circuitry to integrate the steps in an automated platform.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2010
    Assignee: Microfluidic Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Phillip I. Belgrader, Bob Yuan
