Large spherical cells trapped in microfluidic chamber, 100um X 100um. Just replaced medium with TAP-S. Magnification 40X Cells are between 10um to 15um in diameter. Can see some decay into ‘ghost cells’ while others actively dividing. One cell started out dividing into two, then reabsorbed into one cell Duration : 0:1:35

Peng, Cross-scale electric manipulations of cells and droplets by frequency-modulated dielectrophoresis and electrowetting, Lab Chip, vol. 8 , 2008, pp. 1325-1331. Duration : 0:0:43
Protein-DNA mapping using AFM on a Chip
This video is made by John Montoya of CHTM and shows the conceptualization of a protein-DNA interaction chip. The top layer of the chip is removed to show a fly-by of the AFM. For details about this proposal please check out http://www.slideshare.net/anthonysalvagno/proteindna-mapping-using-an-afm. Duration : 0:0:18
Virus detecting ‘Lab on a Chip’ developed by BYU researchers
A team of Brigham Young University engineers and chemists has created an inexpensive silicon microchip that reliably detects viruses, even at low concentrations. It’s a step forward in the movement to make a “lab on a chip.” Duration : 0:1:18

Flow free transport and caging of 5 μm beads
Video related to research article appearing in Lab on a Chip O. Manneberg, et al. Flow-free transport of cells in microchannels by frequency-modulated ultrasound Read the article at http://xlink.rsc.org/?DOI=b816675g The clip shows flow-free transport and caging of 5-μm beads (green). The yellow beads are 1-μm tracer particles that are used for tracking the fluid motion. [...]
NABsys Hybridization-Assisted Nanopore Sequencing Platform
This technology may reduce the cost of whole-genome DNA sequencing by more than four orders of magnitude. This will allow for the elucidation of the genetic components of complex disease states and ultimately for the adoption of personalized and preventive medicine. Duration : 0:5:35
