Validation of an on-chip p16ink4a/Ki-67 dual immunostaining cervical cytology system using microfluidic device technology

Abstract More specific screening systems for cervical cancer may become necessary as the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine becomes more widespread. Although p16/Ki-67 dual-staining cytology has several advantages, it requires advanced diagnostic skills. Here, we developed an automated on-chip immunostaining method using a microfluidic device. An electroactive microwell array (EMA) microfluidic device with patterned thin-film electrodes […]
