UTMB Seminar – Microfluidic Technology Enabling Advances in microRNA Research

Filed Under Events | Leave a Comment

Presented by Christoph Eicken Ph.D. – LC Sciences LLC

An advanced microfluidic biochip system designed to produce high quality data, stay current with the rapidly evolving microRNA field, and perform diverse small RNA discovery experiments is presented. This technology’s unique flexibility allows for miRBase synchronicity and design of customized biochips adapted to each researcher’s specific needs. Applications featuring disease marker discovery, drug treatment, microRNA target screening, and small RNA discovery are highlighted.

Customers Publishing Raw Images of µParaflo® Microfluidic Chip Data

Filed Under New Customer Publications | Leave a Comment

LC Sciences’ customers have been publishing raw images of its µParaflo® microfluidic chip data since the company began offering the microRNA microarray service back in 2005.  So we thought we would give you a quick look at some of these images.  (For a more thorough look check out the individual screenshots here)The exceedingly high quality of the data coming from these chips makes the results so clear that it makes sense to illustrate by showing the actual scanned image of the array itself.  “We are continually amazed that our customers choose to publish images of the array in the main text of the articles as a means present research results.  This is not something you typically see with data from a standard microarray and reflects the strength of our advanced technology”.  Chris Hebel, LC Sciences LLC.  Read more

µParaflo® Biochip Technology – Microfluidic Synthesis Platform

Filed Under Information | Leave a Comment

A platform technology that encompass a new class of microfluidic µParaflo® reaction devices, an advanced digital light synthesizer apparatus, and picoliter scale biochemical processes.  The functionalized µParaflo® chips are particularly suited for applications where small sample consumption, contamination-free, and performance-reproducibility are primary concerns. This technology enables the massively parallel synthesis of high quality DNA and RNA oligonucleotides as well as peptides and peptidomimetics in picoliter-scale reaction chambers. The only platform providing microarrays of oligonucleotide, peptide, and their analog sequences by in situ synthesis using conventional chemistry and a comprehensive list of off-the-shelf synthetic building blocks.

  • High Density – On Chip Parallel Synthesis
  • Customizable – DNA, RNA, Peptides, and Analogs
  • Versatile – Uses Conventional Chemistry

    microRNA Microarray Service

    Filed Under Information | Leave a Comment

    LC Sciences provides a genome-wide microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling service using µParaflo®technology and proprietary probe design, which enable highly sensitive and specific direct detection of miRNAs. We have standard arrays for mature miRNA of all species available in the latest version of the miRBase database (Release 14.0). Our service is comprehensive and includes small RNA enrichment from your total RNA sample, single or dual color labeling, hybridization, image data processing and in-depth data analysis. Two-three weeks after receiving your total RNA samples, we send you the analyzed data, representative and original images of the array, and raw data. We offer additional products and services including arrays containing miRNA*, walk/tiling arrays, custom arrays (first 100 probes free of charge), and in-depth analysis for multiple data sets. The in-depth data analysis may include multi-array normalization, t-test, ANOVA, False Discovery Rate calculator, and/or clustering analysis.
