Patent number: 9383293Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sample separation, particularly for blood separation, in which the sample liquid is introduced into a feed device. The sample flows vertically through a separating device such as a filter or a membrane, so that sample particles are retained and separated off. The sample liquid thus separated, particularly blood plasma, is received by an inlet chamber underneath the separating device and conveyed by means of a channel in the lateral direction out of the inlet chamber. Particularly advantageously, the channel extends into the inlet chamber, the channel being formed by a recess in the base of the inlet chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2011Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim Microparts GmbHInventors: Gert Blankenstein, Thanh Tu Hellmich-Duong, Dirk Kurowski, Dirk Osterloh

Patent number: 9261496Abstract: Provided herein are microfluidic devices that can be used as a 3D bioassay, e.g., for drug screening, personalized medicine, tissue engineering, wound healing, and other applications. The device has a series of channels {e.g., small fluid channels) in a small polymer block wherein one or more of the channels can be filled with a biologically relevant gel, such as collagen, which is held in place by posts. As shown herein, when the device is plated with cells such as endothelial cells, new blood vessels grow in the gel, which is thick enough for the cells to grow in three dimensions. Other channels, e.g., fluid channels, allow drugs or biological material to be exposed to the 3D cell growth. Cells, such as endothelial cells, can be cultured and observed as they grow on the surface of a 3D gel scaffold, where e.g., rates of angiogenesis can be measured, as well as intervascularization and extravascularization of cancerous cells.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2011Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The General Hospital Corporation, The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc., Children's Medical Center, Corp.Inventors: Roger Dale Kamm, Haruhiko Harry Asada, Waleed Ahmed Farahat, Ioannis K.

Publication number: 20140166108Abstract: The invention relates to a microfluidic platform (1) having at least one means (12) for initiating a movement of a liquid (P), in particular a sample liquid, between at least two locations (100, 101) of the microfluidic platform (1). It is proposed according to the invention that the means (12) is embodied as an element of changeable volume and/or shape and is mounted on a cover-like component (11) that is movably connected to the microfluidic platform (1). By moving of the component (11) the element (12) can be brought into a position such that, by changing its volume and/or shape, it causes the liquid (P) situated at the location (100) to be moved at least partly from this location (100) to the other location (101). In this way a sample liquid (P) can be transferred from a sample application point (100) to a sample utilisation area (101) in a very simple and reliable manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2011Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM MICROPARTS GMBHInventors: Tobias Rodenfels, Thanh Tu Hellmich-Duong, Gert Blankenstein
