As one of the largest subsets of biosensors, biomolecular sensors are specifically developed and programmed to detect, quantify and analyze biomolecules in liquid samples. Wide-ranging applications have made immunoassays increasingly popular for biomolecular detection and quantification. Among these, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are of particular interest due to high specificity and reproducibility. To some extent, ELISA has been regarded as a \u201cgold standard\u201d for quantifying analytes (especially protein analytes) in both clinical diagnostics and fundamental biological research. However, traditional (96-well plate-based) ELISA still suffers from several notable drawbacks, such as long assay time (4\u20136 hours), lengthy procedures, and large sample\/reagent consumption (\u223c100 \u03bcL). These inherent disadvantages still significantly limit traditional ELISA's applicability to areas such as rapid clinical diagnosis of acute diseases (e.g., viral pneumonia, acute organ rejection), and biological research that requires accurate measurements with precious or low abundance samples (e.g., tail vein serum from a mouse). Thus, a bimolecular sensing technology that has high sensitivity, short assay time, and small sample\/reagent consumption is still strongly desired. In this dissertation, we introduce the development of a multifunctional and automated optofluidic biosensing platform that can resolve the aforementioned problems. In contrast to conventional plate-based ELISA, our optofluidic ELISA platform utilizes mass-producible polystyrene microfluidic channels with a high surface-to-volume ratio as the immunoassay reactors, which greatly shortens the total assay time. We also developed a low-noise signal amplification protocol and an optical signal quantification system that was optimized for the optofluidic ELISA platform. Our optofluidic ELISA platform provides several attractive features such as small sample\/reagent consumption (<8 \u03bcL), short total assay time (30-45 min), high sensitivity (~1 pg\/mL for most markers), and a broad dynamic range (3-4 orders of magnitude). Using these features, we successfully quantified mouse FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) concentration with a single drop of tail vein serum. We also successfully monitored bladder cancer progression in orthotopic xenografted mice with only <50 \u03bcL of mouse urine. More excitingly, we achieved highly-sensitive exosome quantification and multiplexed immuno-profiling with <40 ng\/mL of total input protein (per assay). These remarkable milestones could not be achieved with conventional plate-based ELISA but were enabled by our unique optofluidic ELISA.\r\n\r\nAs an emerging member of the bimolecular sensor family, our optofluidic ELISA platform provides a high-performance and cost-effective tool for a plethora of applications, including endocrinal, cancer animal model, cellular biology, and even forensic science research. In the future, this technology platform can also be renovated for clinical applications such as personalized cancer diagnosis\/prognosis and rapid point-of-care diagnostics for infectious diseases.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"72234-17963872@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/72234", "building_id":"1000406", "building_name":"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)", "campus_maps_id":"7", "room":"2189", "location_name":"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Bioninterfaces","Biosciences","Biotechnology","bme","Discussion","Life Science","Medicine","Michigan Engineering","Natural Sciences","Research","Science","seminar","biomedical engineering","biomedical","Biology","Biointerfaces"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Biomedical Engineering", "group_id":"1143", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100094127215673" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2020\/01\/event_72234_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":17963872 } , "71609-17844813": { "datetime_modified":"20200116T142118", "datetime_start":"20200203T120000", "datetime_end":"20200203T140000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2020-02-03", "date_end":"2020-02-03", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"14:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"PICS Professional Development Workshop.
