Blue, Member, IEEE, A. Duduś, and D. Uttamchandani, Senior Member, IEEE together with its ability to readily change its optical properties Abstract — We review the field we describe as “single-mode fiber are distinct advantages which promote the development of optofluidics” which combines the technologies of microfluidics SMF optofluidic devices. In general SMF devices can be with single-mode fiber optics for delivering new implementations classified into continuous fiber devices and fiber-gap devices. of well-known single-mode optical fiber devices. The ability of a This classification also extends to SMF optofluidic devices. In fluid to be easily shaped to different geometries plus the ability to this paper we review the full range of SMF optofluidic devices have its optical properties easily changed via concentration reported to date. Sections II and III examine the modifications changes or an applied electrical or magnetic field offers potential benefits such as no mechanical moving parts, miniaturization, required to the standard SMF to achieve interaction of a fluid increased sensitivity and lower costs. However, device fabrication with the guided light for both continuous fiber and fiber-gap and operation can be more complex than in established single- devices. -
The Implementation of Optofluidic Microscopy On
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OPTOFLUIDIC MICROSCOPY ON A CHIP SCALE AND ITS POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGY STUDIES Thesis by Lap Man Lee In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2012 (Defended September 12th, 2011) ii © 2012 Lap Man Lee All Rights Reserved iii Acknowledgement The completion of my thesis is based on support and help from many individuals. First, I would like to express my gratitude to my PhD advisor Prof. Changhuei Yang for offering me a chance to work on an emerging research field of optofluidics and participate in the development of optofluidic microscopy (OFM), which leads to many successful results. His guidance has led the OFM project from an elegant engineering idea to reality. His enthusiasm and creativity in conducting academic research is forever young, motivating us to pursue excellence in our projects. I thank him for introducing me to biophotonics and allowing me to play a role in contributing to the field. I want to thank Prof. Yu-Chong Tai for being my thesis committee chair. His pioneering work in MEMS has always been my motivation to pursue something ‘big’ in the world of ‘small’. You will find yourself learning something new every time you interact with him, not only in science but also in life. I want to thank Prof. Chin-Lin Guo for the discussion after the committee meeting. I find his advice very useful. I am thankful for suggestions from Prof. Azita Emami, which made my PhD work more complete. I also acknowledge my candidacy committee members, Prof. -

COLL 1 Cytosolic internalization of luminescent quantum dots Hedi M. Mattoussi1, [email protected], Anshika Kapur1, Goutam Palui1, Wentao Wang1, Scott Medina2, Joel Schneider2. (1) Chem Biochem, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, United States (2) Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, , Frederick, Maryland, United States The remarkable progress made over the past two decades to grow inorganic nanomaterials, combined with careful surface functionalization strategies offer an opportunity to develop novel platforms for use in molecular imaging and as diagnostic tools. A successful integration into biological systems requires devising strategies to promote their intracellular uptake while circumventing endocytosis. We report on the use of an amphiphilic anti-microbial peptide as means of promoting the cytosolic uptake of luminescent QDs. The peptide is synthesized with a terminal cysteine to allow conjugation onto QDs that have been coated with multifunctional metal-coordinating ligands. Using fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry we find that incubating cells with the QD-peptide leads to delivery into the cytoplasm without affecting the cellular morphology or viability. We observed a homogeneous distribution of QD staining throughout the cytoplasm and without co-localization with labelled endosomes. Additional experiments where endocytosis has been eliminated (such as pre-treatment with specific inhibitors) have shown minimal effects on the intracellular QD uptake.
