报告摘要：
micro/nanofluidics has emerged in recent years as a powerful method of manipulating fluids at small length-scales. to highlight their versatility and great potentials, i present 2 simple nano/microfluidic platforms to showcase how nano- and microfabrication techniques can be coupled with fluidics for nanoplasmonic biosensing and immunoassay applications.
(a) nanoplasmonic platforms for multiple biosensing applications: we develop a nanoplasmonic platform with remarkable biocompatibility, for long-term survival of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, thereby enabling nanoplasmonic based cell bioassays. this nanoplasmonic platform is used for monitoring mitosis of fibroblasts for 7 days, e. coli biofilm formation, and dna polymerase activity in real-time. in addition, the same nanoplasmonic platform is used to conduct routine protein/dna based immunoassays with a limit of detection of∼66 zm.
(b) making waves in a total capture nanofluidic immunoassay: understanding nanoconfinement phenomena is necessary to develop nanofluidic technology platforms. we demonstrate a convection limited nanofluidic immunoassay that achieves total capture of a target analyte, and an apparent shift in the reaction equilibrium due to nanoconfinement.
