Abstract: ABSTRACT:
An instrument for processing droplets in a microfluidic system. The instrument captures a time sequence of images of a droplet as it passes through a channel in a microfluidic system. The instrument also processes each image of the sequence of images using a convolutional neural network to count a number of cells or other entities visible in each image the droplet. This involves processing the count of the number of cells or other entities visible in each image of the droplet to determine an estimated number of cells or other entities in the droplet. The instrument controls a microfluidic process performed on the droplet, e.g. droplet dispensing, responsive to the estimated number of cells or other entities in the droplet. The instrument uses the changing orientation and disposition of droplet contents in combination with machine learning to improve monoclonality assurance.-

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device consisting of a glass container, the inner walls of which have been modified after successive activation, silanisation and amidation reactions to house a porous crystalline coating. Said coating, which has the atomic sequence —Si—O—R-M-MOF, is covalently bonded to the inner wall of the container in an inverted radial manner, where R may be A) —Si—(CH2)3—NH—CH(═O)—(C6H4)—COO—; B) —Si—(CH2)n—NH—CH(═O)—(CH2)2—(C2HN3)—(CH2)n—(C6H4)—COO—; C) —Si—(CH2)n—O—CH2—CH(—OH)—CH2—NH—(CH2)n—(C6H4)—COO—; D) —Si—(CH2)n—S—(CH2)2—(CH2)n—(C6H4)—COO—, and M is a metal dependent on the type of MOF. The container can be used for the extraction and pre-concentration of analytes present in samples of different natures, from environmental to biological. The invention also relates to the use thereof for dosing medicines or for colouring or flavouring beverages.
