A high-throughput microfluidic biochip to quantify bacterial adhesion to single host cells by real-time PCR assay

A high-throughput microfluidic poly-(dimethylsiloxane) biochip was developed to quantify bacterial adhesion to single host cells by real-time PCR assay. The biochip is simply structured with a two-dimensional array of 900 micro-wells, one inlet, and one outlet micro-channels. Isolation of single inf...
