Cryopreservation of cells and biologics underpins all biomedical research from routine
sample storage to emerging cell-based therapies, as well as ensuring cell banks provide …

Digital microfluidics (DMF) is an emerging liquid-handling technology that enables
individual control over droplets on an open array of electrodes. These picoliter-to microliter …

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the cryoprotectant of choice for most animal cell systems since
the early history of cryopreservation. It has been used for decades in many thousands of cell …

Cryopreservation has utility in clinical and scientific research but implementation is highly
complex and includes labor-intensive cell-specific protocols for the addition/removal of …

The fields of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) have
progressed rapidly, yet still need further improvements. Microfluidic technology can …

Despite the precise controllability of droplet samples in digital microfluidic (DMF) systems,
their capability in isolating single cells for long-time culture is still limited: typically, only a few …

The diagnosis of infectious disease is typically carried out at the point-of-care (POC) using
the lateral flow assay (LFA). While cost-effective and portable, LFAs often lack the clinical …

Fouling at liquid–solid interfaces is a pernicious problem for a wide range of applications,
including those that are implemented by digital microfluidics (DMF). There are several …

Single cell analysis circumvents the need to average data from large populations by
observing each cell individually, thus enabling the analysis of cell-to-cell variability. The …

Microfluidics is a promising approach for the facile and large-scale fabrication of
monodispersed droplets for various applications in biomedicine. This technology has …
