Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Microfluidic devices may include a channel through which a solution containing biological cells can flow.But detecting, selecting, and di recting cells, especially on a single-cell basis, is challenging due to cell size and the potential of cells to aggregate.”As a supplement to the background information on this patent application, NewsRx correspondentsalso obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent application: “Example implementationsrelate to a microfluidic system. The micr ofluidic system may comprise: a dispense head comprising: a firstdispenser to d ispense a first biological cell type and a second dispenser to dispense a second biological celltype; a first dispenser channel to load cells into a first cell staging chamber to be dispensed by the firstdispenser, and a second dispenser channel to load cells into a second cell staging chamber to be dispensedby the second dispenser; and one or more sensing circuits to detect single cells in the first dispenserchannel and in the second dispenser channel; and a controller t o use the dispense head to dispense, ineach individual well of a multiwell plat e, an individual first cell from the first cell staging chamber and anindividua l second cell from the second dispenser cell staging chamber.
