We present a microfluidic device for multiplexed immunoassays based on DNA-directed immobilization. Because of the versatile building blocks used for this technique, it is possible to build up user configurable protein microarrays within the microfluidic system by means of DNA-directed self-assembly, which can be used for immunoassay applications. We demonstrate the performance of our system by parallel detection of cytokines in a multiplex immunoassay, employing silver deposition labeling and optical read-out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
