2025
The video showcases the implementation of snap chip technology for cross-reactivity-free multiplexed sandwich immunoassays. The simple action of snapping two microarray slides, each containing different reagents, ensures reagent transfer without cross-contamination and helps to detect multiple proteins using sandwich immunoassay.

We demonstrate a snap chip technology for performing cross-reactivity-free multiplexed sandwich immunoassays by simply snapping two slides. A snap apparatus is used for reliably transferring reagents from microarray-to-microarray. The snap chip can be used for any biochemical reactions requiring colocalization of different reagents without cross-contamination.

Evaluating the Accuracy of Snap Judgments

Source: Diego Reinero & Jay Van Bavel—New York University Social psychologists have long been interested in the way people form impressions of others. Much of this work has focused on the errors people make in judging others, such as the exaggerated influence of central traits (such as "warm" and "cold"), the insufficient weight given to the context in which others' behavior takes place, and the tendency for people to make judgments that conform to their initial expectations about another.

A lensless on-chip fluorescent microscopy platform is demonstrated that can image fluorescent objects over an ultra-wide field-of-view of e.g., >0.6-8 cm2 with <4μm resolution using a compressive sampling based decoding algorithm. Such a compact and wide-field fluorescent on-chip imaging modality could be valuable for high-throughput cytometry, rare-cell research and microarray-analysis.

Microfluidic flow chambers etched by photolithography and fabricated from PDMS are applied to probe functional outcomes associated with EC dysfunction and inflammation. In a representative experiment, the ability of differential shear stress to modulate monocytic cell adhesion to cytokine activated EC monolayers is demonstrated.
FAQs
Precise alignment allows channels, chambers, and connection points to meet in the intended configuration. Once these interfaces are joined, fluid can move through defined pathways rather than across poorly matched or improvised connections. This alignment supports controlled handling of small volumes and contributes to reproducible flow conditions during biological experiments.
Defined pathways and chambers give researchers a consistent spatial route for moving fluids through the chip. That organization helps maintain controlled flow conditions while limiting the amount of sample required. In bioengineering experiments, consistent routing is important because it supports repeatable interactions between the fluid, cells, tissues, or other biological materials placed within the system.
Its modular architecture emphasizes components and interfaces that can be connected in different configurations. This can provide greater experimental flexibility than a design assembled as one fixed structure. Researchers can therefore adapt the arrangement to support different biological functions, while the compact format helps keep device assembly and experimental setups manageable.
A typical workflow begins by selecting the required chip components, aligning their channels and interfaces, and connecting them so the intended fluid pathways are established. The assembled system can then be configured for the selected biological assay, such as cell culture or tissue modeling. This approach supports rapid prototyping and adjustment of device configurations.
The platform can support cell culture, organ-on-chip models, diagnostic testing, and tissue engineering. Each application can use the chip’s controlled fluid pathways and modular arrangement to bring multiple biological functions into a compact experimental format. Its ability to reduce material and sample requirements is also relevant when assays must operate with limited quantities.
Snap Chip Technology connects microfluidic control with practical device development for biological systems. It can simplify assembly, support rapid prototyping, and allow several functions to be integrated within one chip. These features are useful in bioengineering because experiments may need to coordinate cells, tissues, and fluid handling while conserving samples and materials.
