Lab-on-a-Chip Facilitates Bacterial Shape Sorting - Technology Networks

Researchers have created a lab-on-a-chip with a viscoelastic fluid that can separate spherical from elongated bacteria.

Scientists at Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) achieved shape-based separation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria using a viscoelastic fluid inside microfluidic channels. This "la… [+2610 chars]
