Abstract:
It has been demonstrated that microfluidic systems allow integration of sampling, reagent mixing, and rapid electrophoretic analysis. They have also proven useful for culturing cells wherein control over the environment allows novel and automated experiments. Here, we describe a microchip-based electrophoresis assay that allows cell culture and hormone monitoring. An online gradient generator can control cell culture condition precisely. This system has been applied for Pancreas islets' glucose sensitivity studies.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...
