Main Methods:

Development of an integrated and automated microfluidic lectin barcode platform.
Optimization of chip design and flow control for lectin microarrays.
Implementation of an on-chip lectin assay with a simple blocking method for background reduction.

Main Results:

Demonstrated focused differential profiling of tissue-specific glycosylation changes in CA125 protein.
Achieved fast, reproducible, and high-throughput analysis of ovarian cancer cell lines and patient tissues.
Showcased highly sensitive CA125 detection with a limit below the clinical cutoff for cancer diagnosis.

Conclusions:

The microfluidic lectin barcode platform significantly improves glycomic profiling performance.
The technology enables sensitive and efficient detection of cancer biomarkers like CA125.
This platform holds potential for a fully integrated "sample-to-answer" microsystem for glycobiology and biomarker development.
