Examine the Diverse Applications of Microfluidics in Biology.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43240) has announced the addition of Microfluidic Applications in Biology: From Technologies to Systems Biology to their offering.

Taken from the high-impact journal Electrophoresis, these research articles on microfluidics and its application in a range of biological fields are of high interest and now available to a new readership. Alongside several review articles, this volume represents a current overview of the latest research.

Microfluidics in system biology

Chip electrospray mass spectrometry for carbohydrate analysis.

Microfluidic devices for the analysis of apoptosis.

On-line chemiluminescence detection for isoelectric focusing of heme proteins on microchips.

A simple microfluidic system for efficient capillary electrophoretic separation and sensitive fluorimetric detection of DNA DNA: see nucleic acid.
DNA
 or deoxyribonucleic acid

One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes.
 fragments using light-emitting diode and liquid-core waveguide techniques.

Determination of biochemical species on electrophoresis chips with an external contactless conductivity detector.

In-channel indirect amperometric detection of nonelectroactive anions for electrophoresis on a poly(dimethylsiloxane) microchip.

Coupling on-chip solid-phase extraction to electrospray mass spectrometry through an integrated electrospray tip.

Electrospray interfacing of polymer microfluidics to MALDI-MS MALDI-MS Matrix assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Mass Spectrometry .

Nanoliquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of oligosaccharides oligosaccharides (ol´igōsak´rīdz),

 employing graphitized carbon chromatography on microchip with a high-accuracy mass analyzer.

Utility of lab-on-a-chip technology for high-throughput nucleic acid and protein analysis.

Analysis of amino acids and proteins using a poly(methyl methacrylate) microfluidic system.

Single cell manipulation, analytics, and label-free protein detection in microfluidic devices for systems nanobiology.

Fast immobilization Immobilization Definition

Immobilization refers to the process of holding a joint or bone in place with a splint, cast, or brace. This is done to prevent an injured area from moving while it heals.
 of probe beads by dielectrophoresis-controlled adhesion in a versatile microfluidic platform for affinity assay.

Droplet fusion by alternating current (AC) field electrocoalescence in microchannels.

Microfluidic flow focusing: Drop size and scaling in pressure versus flow-rate-driven pumping.

Aligning fast alternating current electroosmotic flow fields and characteristic frequencies with dielectrophoretic traps to achieve rapid bacteria detection.

Dielectrophoresis Dielectrophoresis (or DEP) is a phenomenon in which a force is exerted on a dielectric particle when it is subjected to a non-uniform electric field. This force does not require the particle to be charged.  induced clustering regimes of viable yeast cells.

3-D electrode designs for flow-through dielectrophoretic systems.

Parallel mixing of photolithographically defined nanoliter volumes using elastomeric microvalve arrays.

Method development and measurements of endogenous serine/threonine Akt phosphorylation phosphorylation, chemical process in which a phosphate group is added to an organic molecule. In living cells phosphorylation is associated with respiration, which takes place in the cell's mitochondria, and photosynthesis, which takes place in the chloroplasts.  using capillary electrophoresis for systems biology.

Comparison of a pump-around, a diffusion-driven, and a shear-driven system for the hybridization hybridization /hy·brid·iza·tion/ (hi?brid-i-za´shun)
