Microfluidics provide unique possibilities to control tiny volumes of liquids and their composition. To effectively benefit from the advantages of microfluidic solutions they need to be supported by interrogation subsystems, at best also matching the miniature scale. In this work we combined with a microfluidic system…

The capacity to pattern biomolecules within microfluidic devices expands the scope of microfluidic technologies. In such patterned systems, surface-bound components remained localized, while the microfluidic network supplies reagents and removes waste products. This approach has enabled continuous protein expression…
