Design of Smart Polymer Constructs for Use in Microfluidic Diagnostic Assays
Abstract
We have prepared random, block and graft copolymers with single or dual sensitivities to various stimuli. We have conjugated these polymers to proteins at random lysine sites or at specific sites designed into the protein by genetic engineering. We are also grafting the smart polymers to the surfaces of nanobeads. We are applying these smart conjugates and smart nanobeads in microfluidic devices for various applications, including diagnostics, affinity separations and enzyme bioprocesses. In this talk I will update our work with these interesting hybrid systems.
