Abstract: A microfluidic apparatus and methods for fabrication with a fluidic layer and a pattern layer of spots of concentrated reagents that are disposed in wells of a fluidic layer when the two layers are bonded together. Reagents are stored on the chip prior to use. Because reagents are confined to specific wells, contamination of the channels and other microfluidic structures of the fluidic layer are avoided. The fluidic layer also has a system of vacuum channels and at least one vacuum void to store vacuum potential for controlled micro-fluidic pumping. The top and bottom surfaces of the bonded layers are sealed. The chip can be used for point of care diagnostic assays such as quantitative testing, digital nucleic acid amplification, and biochemical testing such as immunoassays and chemistry testing.

Abstract: A point-of-test diagnostic chip that is capable of simultaneous evaluation of blood coagulation time (INR Value) and hematocrit level. A finger prick volume of blood is placed at the inlet of the device, and the residual vacuum contained within the device provides a pressure gradient to drive the flow of whole blood. The INR value is determined by the distance the blood traverses down the channel before it coagulates. The channel is primed with tissue factor and phospholipids to induce coagulation. A control channel is primed with anticoagulants for use as a way to normalize initial loading times. The hematocrit level is determined by sedimentation of blood cells into a trench and the interface between blood cells that have overfilled the trench and plasma provide a visual readout.

Abstract: A selectively addressable optical biomolecular carrier and its method of use for reconfiguring gene circuits are described. One carrier is a plasmon resonant nanoantenna formed from a gold metal nanorod coated with a cationic phospholipid bilayer with an aspect ratio between 2.0 and 8.0 and plasmon resonance wavelength in the near infrared range. Biomolecules such as siRNA adhere to the carrier and are introduced into a cell. The biomolecules are released from the nanoantenna carriers with exposure to light at the plasmon resonance wavelength. The nanoantenna efficiently converts absorbed optical energy to surface localized heat releasing the biomolecules at a time determined by the user. The carrier can be used to modify gene circuits by allowing temporal control over the genes within a selected gene circuit through the optical release of interfering nucleotides. Optical silencing of endogenous genes with siRNA released from nanoantenna carriers was used to illustrate the methods.

Abstract: An LED-driven optical cavity PCR system and method providing fast, accurate and reliable PCR based diagnostics. Thermal cycling for PCR takes place in an optical cavity formed in a microfluidic channel or chamber with thin light absorbing metal films disposed on at least two opposing walls that provide uniform heating between the walls by photothermal light to heat conversion. The opposing metal films may be sized for equal light absorption from a single light source orthogonal to the two opposing films to produce an even temperature elevation between the equally heating films upon a single light exposure. Uniform temperature elevation may also be achieved with films made from two different materials.
