Microchannel-guided capture antibody patterning on beads for multiple protein detection arrays

Martinus Gijs, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam, Sébastien Vaneberg

We present the rapid fabrication of custom protein micro-arrays, in less than 35 minutes, on the surface of immobilized beads using microchannel-guided flows driven by a single syringe pump. The commercially available beads provide robust micro-array surfa ...

Chaotic mixing using source-sink microfluidic flows in a PDMS chip

Martinus Gijs, Abdeljalil Sayah, Caroline Vandevyver, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Ata Tuna Ciftlik, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We present an active fixed-volume mixer based on the creation of multiple source–sink microfluidic flows in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip without the need of external or internal pumps. To do so, four different pressure-controlled actuation chambers a ...

High-Performance Protein Preconcentrator Using Microchannel-Integrated Nafion Strip

Martinus Gijs, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam, Hui Yang, Meng Shen

A microfluidic device for protein preconcentration based on the electrokinetic trapping principle is proposed. It comprises a Nafion strip which is simply cut from a commercially available membrane and integrated into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microflu ...

Microfluidic Protein Preconcentrator Using a Microchannel-Integrated Nafion Strip: Experiment and Modeling

Martinus Gijs, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam, Meng Shen

We propose a simple microfluidic device for protein preconcentration based on the electrokinetic trapping principle. It comprises a narrow Nafion strip that is simply cut from a commercial membrane and is integrated into a molded poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PD ...

Bioconjugated lanthanide luminescent helicates as multilabels for lab-on-a-chip detection of cancer biomarkers

Martinus Gijs, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Caroline Vandevyver, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam, Bo Song, Vanesa Fernandez Moreira, Hans-Anton Lehr

The lanthanide binuclear helicate [Eu2(LC2(CO2H))3] is coupled to avidin to yield a luminescent bioconjugate EuB1 (Q ¼ 9.3%, s(5D0) ¼ 2.17 ms). MALDI/TOF mass spectrometry confirms the covalent binding of the Eu chelate and UV-visible spectroscopy allows o ...

Microfluidic Immunoassays Based on Self-Assembled Magnetic Bead Patterns and Time-Resolved Luminescence Detection

Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

Microfluidic bio-assays have emerged as the most privileged solutions and provide the basis for the realization of miniaturized bio-analytical systems and clinical diagnostic devices that are portable, user-friendly and cost-effective (Lab-on-a-chip). Two ...

Study of Spatio-Temporal Immunofluorescence on Bead Patterns in a Microfluidic Channel

Martinus Gijs, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam, Hui Yang

We performed a direct immunoassay inside a microfluidic channel on patterned streptavidin-coated beads, which captured fluorescently-labeled biotin target molecules from a continuous flow. We arranged the beads in a dot array at the bottom of the channel a ...

On-chip immunoassay using electrostatic assembly of streptavidin-coated bead micropatterns

Martinus Gijs, Caroline Vandevyver, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We propose an original concept for a sandwich immunoassay that is completely performed on-chip using streptavidin-coated beads as substrate. The latter are electrostatically self-assembled on aminosilane micropatterns at the bottom of a microfluidic channe ...

Sandwich immunoassay on a microfluidic chip using patterns of electrostatically self-assembled streptavidin-coated beads

Martinus Gijs, Caroline Vandevyver, Frédéric Lacharme, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

In this paper, we demonstrate a bead-based microfluidic immunoassay using self-assembled streptavidin-coated bead micropatterns. The beads are assembled on the microfluidic channel surface using electrostatic forces between the negatively-charged streptavi ...
