基于渗透脱水的自动化蛋白质结晶高通量筛选芯片
Microfluidic Device for Automated High-Throughput Protein Crystallization Screening by Osmotic Dewatering
摘要
Abstract
A self-dispensing and osmosis-based microfluidic crystallization device was reported. This device automatically dispenses droplets containing protein and precipitant into an array of crystallization chambers by pre-degassing, and then gradually concentrates these droplets at different rates by osmotic dewatering through a polydimethylsiboxane(PDMS) membrane using a row of integrated dialysis channels filled with different concentration of salt solution. This concentration process drives the protein/precipitant mixture into supersaturated , thus tending toward the crystallization state. This device allows for screening a wide range of supersatura-tion in one trial for rapid optimization of protein crystallization. The feasibility of this crystallization device is demonstrated using the model proteins of lysozyme.关键词
