Bubble Techniques for a Droplet Actuator
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present methods of making and using the droplet actuator including one or more substrates configured to form a droplet operations gap and including a physical or chemical feature that may be provided at a predetermined locus within or exposed to the gap and configured to retain a bubble in position within the gap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Isocaloric Low Fat Diet on Prostate Cancer Xenograft Progression in a Hormone Deprivation Model
Jessica C. Lloyd,Jodi Antonelli,Tameika E. Phillips,Elizabeth M. Masko,Jean A. Thomas,Susan Poulton,Michael G. Pollack,Stephen J. Freedland +7 more
TL;DR: These results conflict with those of other studies in which corn oil was used to show that low fat diets delay prostate cancer growth, suggesting that fat type may be as important as fat amount in the prostate cancer setting.
Patent
Microfluidic methods and apparatuses for fluid mixing and valving
Gregory F. Smith,Dawn M. Z. Schmidt,Sara H. Thrall,David G. Tew,Gregory A. Votaw,Hugh C. Crenshaw,Michael G. Pollack,Christopher David Bevan,Kelly Junge,Mehul Patel +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and method for delivering one or more fluids to a microfluidic channel is provided, where a first fluid freeze valve is connected to the first conduit and operable to reduce the temperature of the first channel.
Patent
Molecular diagnostics platform
Donovan Bort,Carrie Graham,Vamsee K. Pamula,Michael G. Pollack,Ramakrishna Sista,Vijay Srinivasan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method of mixing a droplet on a surface, forming the droplet into a first "U" shape having a bottom region and two terminal ends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated electrotransformation of Escherichia coli on a digital microfluidic platform using bioactivated magnetic beads
J. A. Moore,Mohsen Nemat-Gorgani,Andrew C. Madison,Melissa Sandahl,Srikoundinya Punnamaraju,Allen E. Eckhardt,Michael G. Pollack,Frederic Vigneault,George M. Church,Richard B. Fair,Mark Horowitz,Peter B. Griffin +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that dielectric shielding intrinsic to bead-bound cells significantly reduces electroporation field exposure efficiency, but high transformation frequency can be maintained in the presence of magnetic beads through the application of more intense Electroporation pulses.
