Quantitative nucleic acid amplification tests are of great importance for diagnostics, but current approaches require complex and costly optical setups that limit their nonlaboratory applications. Herein we describe the implementation a microfluidics platform can perform binary DNA-amplification-activated droplet sorting. The digital sort-enabled counting (DISCO) enables label-free absolute quantification acid. This is achieved by provoking pH change in droplets through loop-mediated...
Enzymatic secretion of immune cells (leukocytes) plays a dominant role in host responses to myriad biological triggers, including infections, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. Current tools probe these leukocytes inadequately profile vital biomarkers; the need for sample preprocessing steps cell lysis, labeling, washing, pipetting inevitably triggers cells, changes its basal state, dilutes individual bulk assays. Using fully integrated system multiplexed profiling native single-cell...
Cytokines, crucial in immune modulation, impact disease progression when their secretion is dysregulated. Existing methods for profiling cytokine suffer from time-consuming and labor-intensive processes often fail to capture the dynamic nature of responses. Here, iSECRETE, an integrated platform that enables synchronous cell activation, wash-free, target-responsive protein detection single-cell IFN-γ analysis within 30 min at room temperature presented. By incorporating a DNA proximity assay...
Square microcavity lasers with a cut-corner are proposed and demonstrated for realizing unidirectional emission single-mode lasers. The mode characteristics of the square resonator investigated by 2-D finite-element method simulation. Far field patterns single petal double petals obtained numerically symmetric antisymmetric modes, respectively. fabricated using planar photolithography inductively coupled-plasma etching techniques.

The effective manipulation of mode oscillation and competition is fundamental importance for controlling light emission in semiconductor lasers. Here we develop a rate equation model which considers the spatially modulated gain spontaneous emission, are inherently governed by ripple vacuum electromagnetic field Fabry-Pérot (FP) microcavity. By manipulating interplay between spatial external optical injection via dual-beam laser interference, single longitudinal operation observed FP-type...
