Fabrication and characterization of a fully integrated microdevice for in-vitro single cell assays
(1) FBK-BIOMEMS Unit, via Sommarive 18, 38123 Povo – TN – Italy, (2)Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’informazione –University of Padova – 35131 Padova – Italy, (3) BioSiLab, 38068 Rovereto – TN – Italy

This work presents the microfabrication and preliminary characterization of a fully integrated microdevice for in-vitro single cell assays. This technological platform combines IDEs and MEA-based modules for cell addressed delivery of bio-functionalized nano/microparticles and single cell electroporation respectively.
  

Multiplexed Diagnostics 2009 Market Report
Published March 2009

Multiplexed diagnostics are the long-awaited ascendance of ’omics into healthcare. The promise of multiple measurements to characterize complexity is finally being realized.

Multiplexed Diagnostics 2008 Market Report
Published May 2008

Multiplexed diagnostics are the wild west of medicine. Technology is established, regulation is limited and the number of new biomarkers exploding. First-movers are grabbing biomarker territories, combining independent measurements for efficiency and mining molecules for multivariate panels. All the while demand is high for improving diagnoses and predicting responses to treatment. The challenges, however, are uncertain reimbursement, unclear business models and ever-intensifying competition. On
