We propose a flexible glucose sensor combined with a parylene based electrode and a glucose-responsive fluorescent hydrogel for continuous monitoring of glucose concentration. By depositing parylene-C on a cupper (Cu) thin sheet and creating electrical circuits including a LED and a photo diode, we developed the flexible glucose sensor. The flexible glucose sensor could reduce damage to tissues and...
This study reports on a novel concept for silicon (Si)-based intracortical neural probes with improved mechanical flexibility and reduced dimensions. Microelectrode arrays with cross-sections as small as 50 × 120 µm2 and polyimide ribbon cables of similar width but a thickness of only 11 µm are assembled into slender, flexible recording systems. As their interfacing section is reduced to the width...
Transmembrane proteins functioning as the cellular signaling gateway are the major molecular targets of commercial drug therapy. HEK293T cells are world widely used cell based-platform for these proteins analysis. We loaded the photo-curable hydrogel into the HEK293T cells, treated with UV through the micron photo-mask, and fabricated the cell membrane fiber. The activity of ion channels on the surface...
This paper describes a contactless manipulation system for giant liposomes in an aqueous flow by negative dielectrophoresis (nDEP). The system consists of 2 pairs of comb electrodes that face each other across a perpendicular channel. This design allows an nDEP force to be focused at the center of the gap of the electrodes and the liposomes to align in lines without contacting either the electrodes...
This paper describes a microfluidic device for a high through-put ion channel recordings, in which planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are spanning across a nanometer-sized poly(p-xylylene) (parylene) pore (Figure 1). To make the nanopore, a micrometer-sized pore of parylene was prepared by photolithography, and then parylene was additionally deposited on to the micropore with the isotropic vaporization...
This work presents a strategy that realizes efficient incorporation of membrane proteins in liposomes into a planar bilayer lipid membrane by using dielectrophoretic (DEP) force. The device consists of a chamber and a channel separated by a ??m-sized aperture that suspends a planar bilayer membrane. Applying an AC electric field across the membrane, the DEP force concentrates at the bilayer area therefore...
