Hi Annie, Prof. Lundstrom did a little more "tweeking" to Prof. Glotzer's seminar notice and he has asked that you send it out "as a reminder" to the normal seminar list you use. Thanks so much for your help!

Autoclave mishap- message from Lisa Reece
by MaryJo Totten 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

This is a message of high importance from Lisa Reece Please email to Bindley and Birck personnel on my behalf: I was training someone on the autoclave today and found that someone had put pipettes in an autoclave bin but laid the pipettes in the bin and did not use an autoclavable bag. This caused the pipet envelopes to melt and glue together and to the plastic bin. I did manage to dig the pipets out and place them into a black bag, however, this needs to be addressed. All pipets must be placed into an autoclavable bag and THEN the bag will be placed into a plastic autoclavable bin. Afterwards, the bag can be placed into a black bag for REM pickup. If you have any questions, please get in touch with me or Christy Cooper for further details. Thanks, L. _____ I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Nanoseminar: Dr. Chang Lu, Purdue Dept. of ABE, School of Chemical Engineering (By Courtesy), 11/8/06 @ 4 PM BRK 2001 (Microfluidics plus Electricity: New Tools for Single Cell Analysis and Manipulation)
by Annie Cheever 01 Nov '06

"Microfluidics plus Electricity: New Tools for Single Cell Analysis and Manipulation" Wednesday, 11/8/06 4:00 PM Birck Nanotechnology Building, Room 2001 Dr. Chang Lu, Assistant Professor, Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering (By Courtesy) Purdue University When heterogeneous cell populations, like those derived from primary material, are studied, most sample preparation methods often call for both genetic and protein content to be averaged over the tissue sample material. However, it is always beneficial to obtain information of singe cells to prevent cell subsets and vital processes from being overlooked. For example, when cells show an all-or-none response to a particular stimulus (bistability), bulk analysis yields only the average and does not recognize such characteristics. Micro-fluidic devices offer new possibilities for analyzing and manipulating cells at single cell level due to their micro-scale dimensions. In this seminar, I will discuss some micro-fluidics-based techniques developed in my lab for electro-poration and electro-fusion of mammalian cells at single cell level. We applied these techniques to delivery of impermeant molecules and nucleic acids into cells. We also designed a simple micro-fluidic system, which carried out rapid electrical lysis and chemical analysis of single cells at a maximum rate of 75-85 cells/minute. Using similar approach, we were able to carry out electro-fusion of cells at single pair level. These new tools have the potential for applications ranging from drug/gene screening, single cell proteomics, anti-body production, cloning mammals to cancer immunotherapy. Dr. Chang Lu joined Purdue University in the fall of 2004 as an assistant professor in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, with courtesy appointments in Chemical Engineering and in Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering (LORRE). Dr. Lu obtained his B.S. in Chemistry with honors from Peking University in 1998, M.S. and PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2001 and 2002, respectively, from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During 2002-2004, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics and the Nano-biotechnology Center (NBTC) at Cornell University. He is the author of 17 peer-reviewed journal papers and has 2 US patents pending. His research group is currently interested in the processing and analysis of single cells and single molecules using micro/nanofluidics and fluorescence spectroscopy.
