Publication number: 20240094193Abstract: A microfluidic device capable of trapping contents in a manner suitable for high-throughput imaging is described herein. The microfluidic device may include one or more trapping devices, with each trapping device having a plurality of trapping channels. The trapping channels may be configured to receive contents via an inlet channel that connects a sample reservoir to the trapping channels via fluid communication. The trapping channels are shaped such that contents within the trapping channels are positioned for optimal imaging purposes. The trapping channels are also connect to at least one exit channel via fluid communication. The fluid, and contents within the fluid, maybe controlled via hydraulic pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Adela Ben-Yakar, Evan Hegarty, Sudip Mondal, Navid Ghorashian, Sertan Kutal Gökçe, Christopher Martin

Patent number: 11714270Abstract: A laser scanning system for capturing an image of a specimen is described herein. The laser scanning system includes a light source configured to emit a light beam for illuminating the specimen, a scanning unit including a plurality of reflectors for scanning the light beam along first and second axes, and a data acquisition unit configured to control acquisition of the image. The laser scanning system can include a control circuit configured to receive a reference clock signal for the first reflector and generate a synchronization clock signal based on the reference clock signal. The laser scanning system can include a synchronization controller configured to control the scanning unit and the data acquisition unit. The synchronization controller can be configured to receive the synchronization clock signal, receive a plurality of imaging parameters, and generate a plurality of control signals based on the synchronization clock signal and the imaging parameters.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEMInventors: Adela Ben-Yakar, Ki Hyun Kim, Evan Hegarty, Sertan Kutal Gokce, Sudip Mondal

Patent number: 11192109Abstract: Microfluidic devices for the rapid and automated processing of sample populations are provided. Described are multiplexer microfluidic devices configured to serially deliver a plurality of distinct sample populations to a sample processing element rapidly and automatically, without cross-contaminating the distinct sample populations. Also provided are microfluidic sample processing elements that can be used to rapidly and automatically manipulate and/or interrogate members of a sample population. The microfluidic devices can be used to improve the throughput and quality of experiments involving model organisms, such as C. elegans.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Adela Ben-Yakar, Navid Ghorashian, Sertan Kutal Gökçe, Sam Xun Guo, William Neil Everett, Frederic Bourgeois
