A microarray assembly for detection of a target molecule is disclosed. The microarray assemblies comprise an array chamber having a microarray located therein and features that facilitate liquid movement within the array chamber. Also disclosed are methods for making the microarray assembly using rollable films and methods for detecting microarray spots using an internal control fluorophore in the array spot.

Protein arrays and their use to assay, in a parallel fashion, the protein products of highly homologous or related DNA coding sequences and described. By highly homologous or related it is meant those DNA coding sequences which share a common sequence and which differ only by one or more naturally occurring mutations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms, deletions or insertions, or those sequences which are considered to be haplotypes. Such highly homologous or related DNA coding sequences are generally naturally occurring variants of the same gene. Arrays according to the invention have two or more individual proteins deposited in a spatially defined pattern on a surface in a form whereby a property such as an activity or function of the proteins can be investigated or assayed in parallel by interrogation of the array.

The present disclosure is directed to a device (100) comprising a sampling part (110), wherein the sampling part (110) comprises an array of capture zones (112) for sampling liquid volumes between tens of microliters and femtoliters, wherein some or all of the capture zones (112) contain a sponge-like material. Also disclosed are a method for the preparation of such a device and a method for the detection and determination of the presence, concentration and/or properties of an analyte by contacting a liquid sample with such a device.

The disclosure provides three-dimensional crosslinked polymer networks comprising one or more channels extending from the surface and/or near the surface of the network into the interior of the network, arrays comprising the networks, processes for making the networks, and uses of the networks and arrays.

The present invention provides a system for conservation and efficient use of energy through controlling and monitoring of devices. At least one processing controller connected to a sensor and a device, the processing controller configured to receive the ambient data from the sensor and operating parameters from the device; a user module configured to IO receive input parameters from a plurality of users; a central processing module, connected to the structure, the user module, and the admin module through wired and/or wireless connection, the central processing module configured to process the data received from the processing controller adapted in the zone of the structure and generate the optimum parameters for operating the device adapted in the zone to the structure.

The present invention relates to a technique for genomic library screening and provides a method for separating, capturing, analyzing, and retrieving cells and cell products by using a microstructure that can be preferentially applied to the field of antibody engineering for the development of new therapeutic antibodies and can be extensively applied to multiple genetic/phenotypic analysis of various biochemical molecules, for example, in the field of protein engineering and metabolic engineering.

An example of an array includes a support including a plurality of discrete wells, a gel material positioned in each of the discrete wells, a sequencing primer grafted to the gel material, and a non-sequencing entity grafted to the gel material. Each of the sequencing primer and the non-sequencing entity is in its as-grafted form.

Methods and devices are provided for preparing a protein array having a plurality of proteins. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a plurality of nucleic acids each having a predefined sequence and expressing in vitro a plurality of proteins from the plurality of nucleic acids. In another embodiment, protein arrays having a solid surface and a microvolume are also provided. The solid surface can have a plurality of anchor oligonucleotides capable of hybridizing with a plurality of nucleic acids. The microvolume can cover each of the plurality of anchor oligonucleotides and can be configured to produce a polypeptide from each of the plurality of nucleic acids.

Provided is an array including a solid support having a surface, the surface having a plurality of wells, the wells containing a gel material, the wells being separated from each other by interstitial regions on the surface, the interstitial regions segregating the gel material in each of the wells from the gel material in other wells of the plurality; and a library of target nucleic acids in the gel material, wherein the gel material in each of the wells comprises a single species of the target nucleic acids of the library. Methods for making and using the array are also provided.

A porous structure according to the present invention has a polymerase chain reaction (PCT) primer inside pores thereof, and hence, even an inner portion thereof can be used unlike general structures of which only surfaces are used for amplification and detection, thereby maximizing reactivity. In addition, the differentiating of the kinds of primers contained in respective structures leads to detection of several kinds of target nucleic acids at the same and real-time analysis thereof at the same time, and thus is useful for multiplex real-time PCR.
