Article Synopsis
- * A new microfluidic-based MRD (MF-MRD) assay allows for easier and more frequent testing of blood for circulating leukemia cells using a chip that captures specific B-lineage cells.
- * In a study with 20 patients, MF-MRD tests showed better performance and less invasiveness compared to traditional methods, highlighting its potential for early detection of disease recurrence and better patient monitoring.
Microfluidic systems combine multiple processing steps and components to perform complex assays in an autonomous fashion. To enable the integration of several bio-analytical processing steps into a single system, valving is used as a component that directs fluids and controls introduction of sample and reagents. While elastomer polydimethylsiloxane has been the material of choice for valving, it does not scale well to accommodate disposable integrated systems where inexpensive and fast production is needed.
