The image processing and analysis system results are satisfactory: our micro-carrier detection analysis consisting of two sets of R and B colour are matched with ELISA antibody detection which is proportional to our R and B color analysis results. There are some multiple functional chips in existence such as, micro-array systems. used for multiple detections of different antibodies at the same time. We carried out experiments to build the ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers and a test platform. Magnetic fields are used to control the movement and location of the ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers during the hybridization process without loss. The image processing and analysis system results are satisfactory: our micro-carrier detection analysis consisting of two sets of R and B colour are matched with ELISA antibody detection which is proportional to our R and B color analysis results. There are some multiple functional chips in existence such as, micro-array systems. However, our chips can be used for on-site experiments: stationary platforms for bio-detection (as shown in this paper) or for mobile magnetic field-directed application Apalutamide (ARN-509) (in the future), which a conventional micro-arrays can not do. Our ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers can be fixed in place by the use of magnetic force which also decreases the chip loss during the hybridization process, washing process and so on. In the future, we will inject the ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers (or nano-carriers) into Rabbit polyclonal to ACSS2 vascular and guide them by outside magnetic field to the location of interesting area [5C7]. For example, we can apply ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers by testing the skin of (see Figure 12). We also can detect nano-carriers by Transmission X-ray Microscope (TXM) [19]. Open in a separate window Figure 12. The diagram of ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers by testing the skin of Drosophila. Our ferromagnetic coded micro-carriers were analyzed by image processing with CCD cameras Apalutamide (ARN-509) and computer. A simple and cost effective solution for bio-molecular applications is developed. The ferromagnetic coded micro-carrier requires no expensive equipment, offers great flexibility, and more capability to test unknown biomaterials.
