Colorimetric Molecular and Cellular Imaging on Nanophotonics Integrated Microfluidic PlatformFriday, 19 September 2014 at 17:15 Add to Calendar ▼2014-09-19 17:15:002014-09-19 18:15:00Europe/LondonColorimetric Molecular and Cellular Imaging on Nanophotonics Integrated Microfluidic PlatformPoint-of-Care Diagnostics World Congress in San Diego, California, USASan Diego, California, USASELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com There were significant research efforts in recent years to develop new molecular sensing and cellular imaging instrumentations with largely improved sensitivity; however the augmented performance usually requires the addition of expensive specialized equipment. My research group efforts aim at inventing new bioimaging solutions from a very different angle by engineering nanoplasmonic chips to permit colorimetric molecular and cell imaging in microfluidic devices. In my talk, I will present our work on developing colorimetric plasmon resonance sensor chip integrated with multifunctional microfluidic platforms. The surface plasmon resonance molecular sensing in microfluidics is transformed to a nearly “equipment free” technology requiring only naked eyes or cell phone cameras, allowing for high-performance point-of-care applications. Label-free colorimetric sensing of enzymatic reactions and cell metabolites in microfluidics will be demonstrated. |
