Follow on Google News | Dolomite lends a helping hand to synthetic biology researchDolomite microfluidic chips are helping researchers from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University (ASU) to develop novel enzymes capable of polymerising synthetic nucleotides.
By: Dolomite Bio The Biodesign Institute turned to microfluidics to allow rapid sorting and screening of novel polymerases, taking advantage of the technique's single-cell encapsulation capabilities and picolitre reaction volumes. Dr Andrew Larsen commented: "We needed very reproducible microfluidics, and so using commercially available chips was preferable. We already had experience with Dolomite's chips for a variety of applications within the institute, and they have always been very consistent, so the choice was obvious. These chips give us the ability to consistently generate uniform droplets – both single and double emulsion droplets – offering spatial separation between cells and allowing fluorescence- For more information, visit www.dolomite- End
