Besides security - related applications — and the privacy concerns that such technology might raise — everyday electronics could also make use of terahertz
chips to enable all
sorts of technical wizardry, much like the cameras, accelerometers and gyroscopes in today's
cell phones.
Called SIF - seq, for site - specific integration fluorescence - activated
cell sorting followed by sequencing, this new technique complements existing genomic tools, such as
ChIP - seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing), and offers some additional benefits.
Research at Nagoya University on
cell sorting used a microfluidic
chip to prevent sample infection.
This
chip has microchannels into which
cell suspensions are introduced for
sorting.
Sorting by
cell size, the first
chip skims off small red blood
cells and platelets, letting only CTCs and white blood
cells flow past.
Microfluidic devices are tiny
chips that can
sort out disease biomarkers,
cells and other small structures in samples like blood by using microscopic channels incorporated into the devices.
We still have our flesh and blood
cells, but we soup them up with nanotech brain
chips, genetic engineering and these
sorts of things.
On the bioengineering side, Westervelt's group has developed hybrid Integrated Circuit / Microfluidic
chips - programmable microfluidic systems that can trap, move,
sort, and assemble biological
cells and small particles in fluids.
