Cell metabolite detection is important for cell analysis. As a cellular metabolite, lactate and its detection play an important role in disease diagnosis, drug screening and clinical therapeutics. This paper reports a microfluidic chip integrated with a backflow prevention channel for cell culture and lactate detection. It can effectively realize the upstream and downstream separation of the culture chamber and the detection zone, and prevent the pollution of cells caused by the potential backflow of reagent and buffer solutions. Due to such a separation, it is possible to analyze the lactate concentration in the flow process without contamination of cells. With the information of residence time distribution of the microchannel networks and the detected time signal in the detection chamber, it is possible to calculate the lactate concentration as a function of time using the de-convolution method. We have further demonstrated the suitability of this detection method by measuring lactate production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The microfluidic chip presented here shows good stability in metabolite quick detection and can work continuously for more than a few days. It sheds new insights into pollution-free and high-sensitivity cell metabolism detection, showing broad application prospects in cell analysis, drug screening and disease diagnosis.
With the development of the times and social progress, our country's first industry is gradually developed, and its main labor force, farmers are also urgent need for new professional training. Effective foster new occupation of farmers can not only protect our national food safety stock, and also to ensure national agricultural products mainly for supply and development of the society, the development of agricultural modernization through effective means, to ensure the long-term development of agriculture. Through the new occupation farmer training course in Hubei province can know, effectively solve the present rural peasant farming in how farming can yield, who farming and farming to these problems, and to present results need to publicize the new occupation farmer management and training, to further increase the new occupation farmer training frequency and the number of training, the training is strengthened.
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.
