Large - scale and effective studies of biological molecules with a different structural basis such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids and numerous metabolites (including e.g. fatty acids, amino acids, purines, pyrimidines or steroids) is currently highly attractive because of the availability of modern instruments and tools for both separation and analysis (2 - D chromatographs, capillary electrophoresis systems, microfluidics, mass spectrometers, powerful NMR spectrometers, DNA / RNA arrays and others).

And most researchers working on this kind of chip were working with closed microfluidic systems, which allow fluid to flow in and out but do not offer an easy way to manipulate what is happening inside the chip.

As outlined below, we used a microfluidic quantitative PCR (qPCR) system to elucidate the gene expression profiles of individual human oocytes and small numbers of cumulus cells using a combination of a large number of samples and targets [12], and then extended our studies via the use of parthenogenesis, in conjunction with gene expression profiling, as a functional assay of cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes.
