Microfluidic systems for cancer diagnostics

Sebastian Maerkl, Jose Luis Garcia Cordero

Although not employed in the clinic as of yet, microfluidic systems are likely to become a key technology for cancer diagnostics and prognosis. Microfluidic devices have been developed for the analysis of various biomarkers including circulating tumor cell ...

Mechanically Induced Trapping of Molecular Interactions and Its Applications

Sebastian Maerkl, Jose Luis Garcia Cordero

Measuring binding affinities and association/dissociation rates of molecular interactions is important for a quantitative understanding of cellular mechanisms. Many low-throughput methods have been developed throughout the years to obtain these parameters. ...

LSPR Chip for Parallel, Rapid, and Sensitive Detection of Cancer Markers in Serum

Sebastian Maerkl, Jose Luis Garcia Cordero

Label-free biosensing based on metallic nano-particles supporting localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) has recently received growing interest (Anker, J. N., et al. Nat. Mater. 2008, 7, 442-453). Besides its competitive sensitivity (Yonzon, C. R., et ...

A high-throughput nanoimmunoassay chip applied to large-scale vaccine adjuvant screening

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Sebastian Maerkl, Armando Stano, Jose Luis Garcia Cordero

Large-scale experimentation is becoming instrumental in enabling new discoveries in systems biology and personalized medicine. We developed a multiplexed high-throughput nanoimmunoassay chip capable of quantifying four biomarkers in 384 5 nL samples, for a ...

Multiplexed surface micropatterning of proteins with a pressure-modulated microfluidic button-membrane

Sebastian Maerkl, Jose Luis Garcia Cordero

We report the flow-based in situ patterning of multiple proteins in microfluidic channels by simply tuning the actuation pressure of a microfluidic button-membrane. We show that a single button-membrane can pattern several concentric protein annuli, and we ...
