Functionalized Bead Based Microchip for Immunoassay and Virus Immuno-affinity Chromatography
DownloadFall 2014
We demonstrate the functionalization of a highly ordered porous molecular sieving matrix created by colloidal self-assembly (CSA) of 2 micrometer diameter silica particles in microfluidic chips, for highly efficient immuno-capture of viruses. By tuning the particle size, with appropriate surface...
