Microfluidics-based immunofluorescence for fast staining of ALK in lung adenocarcinoma

Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Benjamin Pelz, Saska Brajkovic

BackgroundAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a key oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma patients and its fusion proteins are routinely assessed. The microfluidic tissue processor (MTP) device is based on a chip-confined low-volume technology allowing f ...

Cell-based quantification of biomarkers from an ultra-fast microfluidic immunofluorescent staining: application to breast cancer cell lines

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Huu Tuan Nguyen

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is one of the main techniques currently used in the clinics for biomarker characterization. It consists in colorimetric labeling with specific antibodies followed by microscopy analysis. The results are then used for diagnosis an ...
