  • Publication number: 20110129850
    Abstract: A microfluidic chip for at least one of cell culturing and cell assay has a cell culture chamber defined by the microfluidic chip, a first microchannel defined by the microfluidic chip and constructed to provide a fluid path to said cell culture chamber, the microchannel having a pneumatic valve formed therein to permit selective opening and closing of a fluid path to said cell culture chamber, and a second microchannel defined by the microfluidic chip and constructed to provide a fluid path from the cell culture chamber.

  • Publication number: 20090302228
    Abstract: A micro-fluidic device has a micro-fluidic circuit layer and a charged-particle detection layer disposed proximate the micro-fluidic circuit layer. The micro-fluidic device is constructed to provide a two-dimensional image of charged-particle emissions from a sample within the micro-fluidic circuit layer while in operation. A method of quantification of radioactivity in a biological sample includes directing a fluid containing the biological material into a microfluidic device, detecting charged particles emitted from the biological material with a two-dimensional imaging sensor, and forming a two-dimensional image over time corresponding to radioactivity of the biological sample.
