Abstract

Microfluidic bioassay systems rely on the quantitative detection of ligands flowing in a liquid sample, by exploiting their innate nature to react with specific receptors immobilized on the microchannel walls. In these systems, the effective ligand detection time is either limited by the receptor affinity or by the rate of ligand replenishment close to the receptor-coated surface. In this study, we utilize a novel 3D modular microfluidic confinement device that enables the use of extremely fast flows to overcome mass transport limitations, thereby allowing rapid (< 10 mins) and sensitive (limit of detection: ~10 pM) ligand detection.
