SUMMARY:Microfluidics for high-performances bio-assays - Emmanuel Delamarc

DESCRIPTION:Microfluidics   provide   tantalizing   opportunities   for   
 miniaturizing biological  assays  with  the  attendant benefits of preserv
 ing samples and reagents\, parallelization\, faster time to results\, and 
 making bioanalytical devices  portable/pervasive.  I  will give an overvie
 w of our activities on experimental  biosciences  at  the IBM Zurich Resea
 rch Laboratory\, where we try   to   develop   powerful\,  miniaturized  b
 ioanalytical  systems  using microcontact  printing  and  capillary-based 
  microfluidics.  I  will  then present  a  new  class  of microfluidics\, 
 called microfluidic probes (MFP)\, which  can  be  used  in  a non-contact
  mode to pattern biomolecules and/or localize biological assays over surfa
 ces.\n\n\n
