International Classification:

C12M 1/42

US Classification:

4352891

Abstract:

A system for delivering exogenous molecules comprises a support for containing cells and exogenous molecules; an infra-red (IR) light source that generates an IR optical beam with an average power density at least greater than 10W/cm; one or more optical elements; an imaging system to image the cells in a field of view; a processor that generates a signal for localization of cells in the field of view; a light pattern shaper for temporal focusing of optical beam to generate wide field illumination on the cells to permeabilise the cell membrane for delivering the exogenous molecules; and a controller that switches optical beam from wide field illumination to a focused illumination. The processor is operatively coupled to the imaging system and the light pattern shaper and transmits the signal for the localization of cells to ensure the temporal focusing of the optical beam on the cells.

International Classification:

C12H 1/02
C25B 7/00
B03C 5/00

US Classification:

426239, 204627

Abstract:

Methods and systems for fluid stabilization are provided. The system includes a first electrical field generator positioned adjacent to a first passage. The first electrical field generator imparts a first electrical field to a fluid flowing through the first passage such that first particles and second particles entrained in the fluid are charged to a first polarity. A first collector positioned within the first passage collects the first particles charged in the fluid. A second electrical field generator positioned adjacent to a second passage is downstream from the first electrical field generator. The second electrical field generator imparts a second electrical field to the fluid discharged from the first passage and substantially neutralizes the second particles entrained in the fluid.
