    Investigating Influences of Intravenous Fluids on Huvec and U937 Monocyte Cell Lines Using the Magnetic Levitation Method

    Intravenous fluids are being widely used in patients of all ages for preventing or treating dehydration in the intensive care units, surgeries in the operation rooms, or administering chemotherapeutic drugs at hospitals. Dextrose, Ringer, and NaCl solutions are widely received as intravenous fluids by hospitalized patients. Despite their widespread administration for over 100 years, studies on their influences on different cell types have been very limited. Increasing evidence suggests that treatment outcomes might be altered by the choice of the administered intravenous fluids. In this study, we investigated the influences of intravenous fluids on human endothelial (HUVEC) and monocyte (U937) cell lines using the magnetic levitation technique. Our magnetic levitation platform provides label-free manipulation of single cells without altering their phenotypic or genetic properties. It allows for monitoring and quantifying behavior of single cells by measuring their levitation heights, deformation indices, and areas. Our results indicate that HUVEC and U937 cell lines respond differently to different intravenous fluids. Dextrose solution decreased the viability of both cell lines while increasing the heterogeneity of areas, deformation, and levitation heights of HUVEC cells. We strongly believe that improved outcomes can be achieved when the influences of intravenous fluids on different cell types are revealed using robust, label-free, and efficient methods. Label-free analysis of cells exposed to intravenous fluids can be achieved through magnetic levitation technology coupled with cell-morphology characterization.

    Lots and Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Based Biosensing Using Cloud-Enabled Features
    (IEEE, 2022) Bayındır, Taha; Değirmenci, Mehmet; Ergenç, Ali Fuat; Elitaş, Meltem; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Internet-of-Things technology (IoTs) have accelerated biosensor applications in all fields. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based biosensor technologies in conjunction with smartphone detection have been adequate to cover the demands of mobile diagnostics. The ease of use, affordability, portability, high sensitivity, flexibility, and specificity demands of point-of-care detection can be achieved by low-cost electronic components, 3-dimensional printing technologies, capturing images of calorimetrically detected readouts made our system a promising approach for real-time point-of-detection in the field. In this study, we implemented a cloud service to our LAMP-based biosensor. We previously performed bacteria detection using colony-based LAMP device and now distributed the optical readouts of the assay using smartphones. We transferred the obtained image and results of the assays through cloud. Our user-friendly interface simplifies the data processing, it directly digitized the readouts and eliminates the need of data interpretation.
