Revealing thermodynamics of DNA origami folding via affine transformations

June 4, 2020
Author(s)
Jacob M. Majikes, Paul N. Patrone, Daniel R. Schiffels, Michael P. Zwolak, Anthony J. Kearsley, Samuel P. Forry, James A. Liddle
Structural DNA nanotechnology, as exemplified by DNA origami, has enabled the design and construction of molecularly precise objects for a myriad of applications. However, limitations in imaging, and other characterization approaches, make a quantitative

Automation of Antimicrobial Activity Screening

March 12, 2016
Author(s)
Samuel P. Forry, Meggan C. Madonna, Daneli Lopez-Perez, Nancy J. Lin, Madeleine D. Pasco
ABSTRACT: Manual and automated methods were compared for routine screening of compounds for antimicrobial activity. Automation generally accelerated assays and required less user intervention while producing comparable results. Automated protocols were

Theoretical Analysis of a Magnetophoresis-Diffusion T-Sensor Immunoassay

August 6, 2013
Author(s)
Thomas P. Forbes, Matt S. Munson, Samuel P. Forry
Microfluidic immunoassays have demonstrated broad application to the detection and quantification of analytes ranging from small drug molecules to large proteins and biomolecules. These systems exhibit short length scales, reduced sample volumes, and

Capturing Rare Cells From Blood Using a Packed Bed of Custom-Synthesized Chitosan Microparticles

July 1, 2013
Author(s)
Chandamany Arya, Jason Kralj, Kunqiang Jiang, Matt S. Munson, Thomas Forbes, Don L. DeVoe, Srinivasa R. Raghavan, Samuel Forry
Uniform multifunctional chitosan microparticles were produced in large numbers using a simple and inexpensive microtubing arrangement. The particles were functionalized through both physical encapsulation of carbon black, to attenuate autofluorescence, and

Simple device for rare cell capture from whole blood

September 26, 2012
Author(s)
Jason G. Kralj, Samuel P. Forry, Matt S. Munson, Thomas P. Forbes, Chandamany Arya, Lynn Sorbara, Alessandro Tona, Sudhir Srivastava
We have developed a system to isolate rare cells from whole blood using commercially available components and simple microfluidics that can provide biologists with the capabilities of the monolithic devices. We characterized the capture of MCF-7 cells

On-chip CO2 control for microfluidic cell culture

January 1, 2011
Author(s)
Samuel P. Forry, Laurie E. Locascio
Carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2) was controlled on-chip by flowing pre-equilibrated aqueous solutions through control channels across the device. Elevated PCO2 (e.g. 0.05 atm) was modulated in neighboring stagnant channels via equilibration through

Quantum Dot FRET Sensor for Enzymatic Activity in Microfluidic Device

June 22, 2010
Author(s)
Georgeta Crivat, Sandra M. Da Silva, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez, Samuel Forry, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan, Nitsa Rosenzweig, Zeev Rosenzweig
This paper describes the development of new fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based quantum dot probes for proteolytic activity. The CdSe/ZnS quantum dots are incorporated into a thin polymeric film, which is prepared by layer-by-layer

T7-Based Linear Amplification of Low Concentration mRNA Samples using Beads and Microfluidics for Global Gene Expression Measurements

April 7, 2009
Author(s)
Jason G. Kralj, Audrey Player, Hope Sedrick, Matt S. Munson, David Petersen, Samuel P. Forry, Paul Meltzer, Ernest Kawasaki, Laurie E. Locascio
We show single-cell level linear amplification of gene expression libraries immobilized on a microfluidic packed bed. This is a critical step in the Eberwine process, which is used to amplify messenger RNA (mRNA) for gene expression profiling. Microarray
