It should make it a lot cheaper, a lot more widespread and a lot faster and more accurate.

Which is great, in my opinion.]]>Aug 6th 2009 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/Aug 6th 2009 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/Aug 6th 2009 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://gizmodo.com/5329961/lab+in+a+chip-can-perform-1024-chemical-reactions-simultaneously

However.....I think you need to specify which California State University. Let me help you out there: It was CSU LA. It isn't very obvious since UCLA has lots of joint programs and just stating that it was a CSU doesn't give it justice. ]]>Aug 6th 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/

Also, there is only one UC in LA, aka UCLA. CSU is in a different system than UCLA - CSU LA isn't the same as UCLA. Why would you need to call UCLA by another name?

Apparently it was, in part by this group at the UCLA: http://labs.pharmacology.ucla.edu/tsenglab/

Also the first author (=the graduate student who did most of the work) is also affiliated with the CSU.

Its cool and everything, but not that other groups are not doing pretty much the same thing. Also do not confuse this with a product, you can buy. Usually publishing something means, it barely works ;)

This is meant to be used as a testing device for new drugs.]]>Aug 7th 2009 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/Aug 7th 2009 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/Aug 7th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.fluidigm.com/)

the problem with it is that you have to use microfluidics and pressures to open "gates" on the chip allowing the chemicals to mix (usually quantitative PCR to measure gene expression) and contamination may occur. also, the plates are not re-usable and cost quite a bit a piece. ]]>Aug 7th 2009 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/microfluidic-chip-does-1-000-parallel-chemical-reactions-looks/Aug 7th 2009 12:23PM
