Cellular analysis

Single isolated neurons were investigated with respect to differential peptide profiling [45, 46]. The spreading of individual neuronal cells onto a MALDI target by mechanical elongation allows the differentiation of subcellular areas, even with an instrument that has a lateral resolution (a laser focus diameter) of ca. 100 pm. Mechanical stretching provides an efficient approach to circumvent instrumental

Cell retention, manipulation, and subsequent cellular analysis can be all achieved on-chip. Cell retention can be achieved by using slit- or weir-type filters, or by cell adhesion. In addition, fluid flow optical trapping and dielectrophoresis (DEP) have been exploited to manipulate and retain cells. 

Sometimes, cellular analysis was performed with cells in a flow stream, which is also termed flow cytometry or FACS in the field of cell biology. For instance, human blood cell (WBC, RBC) rheology was studied in channels fabricated on the Si-Pyrex substrates. The channels were either uncoated or coated with albumin [825].

The book is divided into several chapters which include micromachining methods, microfluidic operations (microfluidic flow, sample introduction, sample preconcentration), chemical separations, detection technology, and various chemical and biochemical analysis (applications on cellular analysis, nucleic acid analysis, and protein analysis). Emphasis will be placed on analytical applications although the basic principles about micromachining and fluid flow and control will also be covered only to the extent that their understanding will assist the exploitation of the microfluidic technology on analytical applications. 

Cellular analysis will depend on cell source, with higher risk cell sources requiring more extensive in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo analysis. Genetic stability and cell phenotypic analysis are also focus areas in preclinical studies, since they provide evidence of appropriate regeneration and function of the cellular component in the neo-organ product.

Microscale blood vessels can also be modeled by microfluidic channels [8]. This work may be applicable to studies of blood vessels and endo-thelia. As in the microchamber cell culture method, detection devices such as microelectrodes can be fabricated in microchannels for on-chip cellular analysis. 

Droplet-based Lab-on-a-Chip devices represent a class of microfluidic systems that have been developed to miniaturize chemical, biochemical, or cellular analysis. These devices utilize various droplet dispensing and manipulatiOTi mechanisms to isolate and control liquid-phase droplets of samples and/or reagents surrounded by a gas or an immiscible liquid. The droplets may be completely surrounded by the medium or may be placed onto a solid surface whose material properties are chosen to provide droplet confinement, chemical functionalization, or control of droplet motion. The devices also have some type of assay readout method with associated hardware, software, and data display.
