<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method for microfluidic manipulation and/or analysis of particles (e.g., cells, viruses, organelles, beads, and/or vesicles). <P>SOLUTION: A microfluidic particle-analysis system includes a device, a method, and a kit for the microfluidic manipulation and/or detection of the particles such as cells and/or beads. The system includes the device, the method and the kit for the microfluidic manipulation and/or analysis of the particles such as the cells, viruses, organelles, beads and/or vesicles, and microfluidic mechanisms are provided for performing such the manipulations and analyses. Such mechanisms enable controlled input, movement/positioning, retention/localization, treatment, measurement, release, and/or output of the particles. Further, these mechanisms can be combined in any suitable order and employed in any suitable number of times within the system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
