Abstract

We developed a simple technique to fabricate arc-edge-channel monolithic valves (AMVs) in microfluidic chips. The AMVs were used in a microfluidic device for parallel liquid handling and single cell isolation. We also developed an allele-specific PCR assay for detecting common mutations in EGFR, KRAS and BRAF genes at single-cell level. The results show that mutation heterogeneity exists in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. The detection of both single (T790M) and double (L858R and T790M) mutations in cancer cells isolated from a clinical pleural effusion sample revealed the association of drug-resistance status with T790M mutation.
