    • The present invention generally relates to lasers comprising fluidic channels, such as microfluidic channels. In some instances, the channel contains two or more fluids. The fluids may remain non-mixed within the channel, for example, due to immiscibility and/or laminar flow within the channel. The fluids may be arranged in the channel such that light propagating in a first fluid is prevented by the second fluid from exiting the first fluid, for example, due to differences in the indexes of refraction (e.g., causing internal reflection of the fluid to occur). Thus, in one embodiment, a first fluid may be at least partially surrounded by a second fluid having a second index of refraction lower than the index of refraction of the first fluid. In some embodiments, the fluidic channel is used as a laser, for instance, a dye laser, i.e., a laser created by directing light at a dye to produce coherent light. The dye may be present in one or more fluids within the fluidic channel. The incident light (for example, created by another laser) may be directed at the channel from any angle. In some cases, laser light may be produced in a direction substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the channel. In some embodiments, the laser is free of mirrors, prisms, or gratings, or the laser may produce coherent light using a non-resonant photonic pathway. However, in other cases, mirrors, prisms, or gratings may be used to reflect light along the channel to enhance stimulated emission of coherent light. Another aspect of the invention includes optical diffractors, such as prisms or gratings, which can contain a fluid. The optical diffractors, in certain embodiments, are positioned to diffract light, such as coherent light, emanating from the fluidic channel. Still other aspects of the invention provide devices, kits, and methods of making and using such lasers.
    • 本发明一般涉及包括流体通道的激光器,例如微流体通道。 在一些情况下,通道包含两种或更多种流体。 流体可以在通道内保持不混合,例如,由于通道内的不混溶和/或层流。 流体可以布置在通道中,使得通过第二流体从第一流体中排出的光例如由于折射率的差异(例如,引起流体的内部反射)而被阻止在第一流体中传播的光 )。 因此,在一个实施例中,第一流体可以至少部分地被具有低于第一流体的折射率的第二折射率的第二流体包围。 在一些实施例中,流体通道用作激光器,例如染料激光器,即通过在染料处引导光以产生相干光而产生的激光。 染料可存在于流体通道内的一种或多种流体中。 入射光(例如,由另一激光产生的)可以从任何角度指向通道。 在一些情况下,可以在与通道的纵向轴线基本对准的方向上产生激光。 在一些实施例中,激光器不含镜子,棱镜或光栅,或者激光可以使用非共振光子通道产生相干光。 然而,在其他情况下,可以使用反射镜,棱镜或光栅来沿着通道反射光以增强相干光的受激发射。 本发明的另一方面包括可以包含流体的光学衍射器,例如棱镜或光栅。 在某些实施例中,光衍射器被定位成衍射从流体通道发出的光,例如相干光。 本发明的其它方面提供了制造和使用这种激光器的装置,套件和方法。

    • In one aspect, methods of patterning of thin films of an ionotropic polymer (e.g., poly(acrylic acid)) are provided. These processes can create micron or sub-micron-scale patterns of ionotropic polymers such as cation crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) (CCL- PAA). In one embodiment, patterning may be performed within microfluidic channels by flowing a solution of crosslinking agent (e.g., metal cations such as Ag+, Ca2+, Pd2+, Al3+, La3+, and Ti4+) that can crosslink a portion of an ionotropic polymer in contact with the solution. In another embodiment, methods of patterning ionotropic polymers involve photolithography. Upon patterning a positive photoresist (e.g., diazonaphthoquinone- novolac resin) on a film of CCL-PAA, the exposed regions of CCL-PAA can be etched by an aqueous solution. Advantageously, the patterned, crosslinked polymer may also serve as both a reactant and a matrix for subsequent chemistry. For example, in some embodiments, the initial crosslinking cation can be exchanged for a second cation that could not be patterned photolithographically. Patterned films of CCL-PAA can also be used to host and template the reduction of metallic cations to metallic nanoparticles, and to fabricate porous, low-k dielectric substrates.
    • 一方面,提供了离子型聚合物(例如聚(丙烯酸))的薄膜图案化方法。 这些方法可以产生离子型聚合物如阳离子交联的聚(丙烯酸)(CCL-PAA)的微米级或亚微米级的图案。 在一个实施方案中,可以在微流体通道内通过使交联剂(例如金属阳离子如Ag +,Ca 2+,Pd 2+,Al 3+,La 3+和Ti 4+)的溶液流过微流体通道,所述溶液可以将部分离子型聚合物与 解决方案。 在另一个实施方案中,构图离子型聚合物的方法涉及光刻。 在CCL-PAA膜上形成正性光致抗蚀剂(例如重氮萘酚 - 酚醛清漆树脂)之后,CCL-PAA的曝光区域可以通过水溶液进行蚀刻。 有利地,图案化的交联聚合物也可以用作反应物和用于后续化学的基质。 例如,在一些实施方案中,可以将初始交联阳离子交换为不能光刻图案化的第二阳离子。 CCL-PAA的图案化膜也可用于将金属阳离子还原为金属纳米颗粒,并制备多孔,低k电介质基底。

    • Disclosed herein are a variety of microfluidic devices and solid, typically electrically conductive devices that can be formed using such devices as molds. In certain embodiments, the devices that are formed comprise conductive pathways formed by solidifying a liquid metal present in one or more microfluidic channels (such devices hereinafter referred to as "microsolidic" devices). In certain such devices, in which electrical connections can be formed and/or reformed between regions in a microfluidic structure; in some cases, the devices/circuits formed may be flexible and/or involve flexible electrical components. In certain embodiments, the solid metal wires/conductive pathways formed in microfluidic channel(s) may remain contained within the microfluidic structure. In certain such embodiments, the conductive pathways formed may be located in proximity to other microfluidic channel(s) of the structure that carry flowing fluid, such that the conductive pathway can create energy (e.g. electromagnetic and/or thermal energy) that interacts withy and/or affects the flowing fluid and/or a component contained therein or carried thereby. In other embodiments, a microsolidic structure may be removed from a microfluidic mold to form a stand-alone structure. In certain embodiments, the solid metal structures formed may interact with light energy incident upon a structure or may be used to fabricate a light-weight electrode. Another aspect of the invention relates to the formation of self-assembled structures that may comprise these electrically conductive pathways/connections.

    • Articles and methods for determining an analyte indicative of a disease condition are provided. In some embodiments, articles and methods described herein can be used for determining a presence, qualitatively or quantitatively, of a component, such as a particular type of cell, in a fluid sample. In one particular embodiment, a low-cost microfluidic system for rapid detection of T cells is provided. The microfluidic system may use immobilized antibodies and adhesion molecules in a channel to capture T cells from a fluid sample such as a small volume of blood. The captured T cells may be labeled with a metal colloid (e.g., gold nanoparticles) using an antibody specific for the T Cell Receptor (TCR), and metallic silver can be catalytically precipitated onto the cells. The number of T cells captured can be counted and may indicate a disease condition of a patient such as severe combined immune deficiency or human immunodeficiency virus.
