nano Droplet Array Plates (nDAPs): 3D Cell Culture in Anchored Hydrogel Droplets Compatible with Conventional Microplates

Xu Q.F., Chen X., Lyons A.M., ARL Designs LLC, US

University researchers as well as large pharmaceutical companies need improved technologies for discovering new drugs. Current drug-discovery approaches are highly inefficient, as

Hydrodynamically Confined Microfluidics for Single Cell Measurements

Turner K.T., Christ K.V., University of Pennsylvania, US

Microfluidics have proven to be a useful tool in cell biology as they allow for precise control of chemistry and hydrodynamic loads at the scale of single cells. Channel-based microfluidics can be difficult to employ [...]

Novel three-dimensional porous film for single-cell microarray applications

Ranjan S., Yong Z., National University of Singapore, SG

Cell-based studies yield data averaged over a large number of cells which overlook the rich information that can possibly be obtained when cells are studied individually. For this reason, much emphasis has been placed over [...]

A method for the highly parallel analysis of gene expression of single cells

Meuleman W.R.A., Milner N., Lueerssen D.W.K., Southern E.M., Oxford Gene Technology, UK

Presented is a method for carrying out rapid single cell gene expression analyses on a large number of cells in parallel. The entire analysis is carried out on a DNA microarray. We demonstrate single molecule [...]
