Characteristics and impact of Taq enzyme adsorption on surfaces in microfluidic devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the adsorption of Taq enzyme, using sessile droplets, on different microfluidic materials and applied a SU8-Teflon coating to impart a time-invariant contact angle.

Identification of respiratory pathogen Bordetella Pertussis using integrated microfluidic chip technology
TL;DR: It is found that the chip technology is well suited for sensitive detection of Bordetella pertussis, using genetic material from less than even 2 cfu, and an off-chip real-time PCR method is utilized to compare and validate the on-chip approach.

TL;DR: Integrated platforms incorporating microfluidics offer portable testing devices for "point of concern" testing in health care facilities, in remote areas or in the home, likely to increase access to sophisticated testing within the health system while decreasing costs and improving the quality of care.
Duplex DNA-Invading γ-Modified Peptide Nucleic Acids Enable Rapid Identification of Bloodstream Infections in Whole Blood
Jork Nolling,Srinivas Rapireddy,Joel I. Amburg,Elizabeth M. Crawford,A. Ranjit Prakash,Arthur R. Rabson,Yi-Wei Tang,Alon Singer +7 more
TL;DR: A novel pathogen identification (PID) platform that features the use of duplex DNA-invading γ-modified peptide nucleic acids (γPNAs) for the rapid identification of bacterial and fungal pathogens directly from blood, without culturing is presented.
