FITSelect: A Technology to Enrich a Genomic Library to Maximize Product Production Using a Growth Competition Assay

VTIP:10-036

The invention is FITSelect, a method that artificially ties product production to the growth rate of the cell. Using FITSelect, the DNA fragment resulting in the production of a desired product will also produce the highest growth rate. Genomic libraries can be enriched by a growth competition assay ...

Contactless Dielectrophoresis for Cell Sorting or Enrichment

VTIP:09-089

The invention is a device and methods that allow cell sorting to identify, isolate and enrich targeted populations based on electrical and physical properties. One of the key features of this system is that electrodes do not come into contact with the biological system. The absence of contact ...
