1.In the field of biochip detection and instrumentation development,between 2000and 2009,I invented anewconfocal fluorescence detectionsystem capable offluorescence collecting efficiency to the diffraction limit,having a large numeric aperture (NA =0.72)and long working distance(WD = 3.22 mm) objective lenses,acylindrical–lenses-reformed dark-field illumination method,a mid-hole-reflecting beam split measuring system, anda FRET correction method,etc. These inventions lead tosix Chinese patents and three international patents authorized,two software copyrights licensedandsix papers publishedinAnalytical Chemistry(V82, p5304–5312,2010;V81, N4,p1426-1432, 2009), theJournal of Biomedical Optics(V13, N3,p034006, 2008), theJournal of Microscopy(V234, p255-261, 2009),etc. Integrating these innovative methods and key components, a series of four outstanding scientific instruments and medical devices were created, including the microarray scanner, the quality detector on the biochip and the laser confocal scanners.

2. In the field of micro-nano biomedical detection and precision medical,from2007-2016,I was in charge of inventing microfluidic chip-based isothermal amplification technology for molecular diagnostics, a double-focal-plane imaging system with high fluorescence collection near the optical diffraction limit, inert surface processing methods, air-film-cubic-heating and self-adaptation PID (proportion integration differentiation) temperature controlling, and a moving average filter algorithm for dynamic signal processing, which stabilized biochemical reactions in micro-nanoliter assays. There were alsofive patents (including one international patent) authorizedandeight papers publishedinLab on a Chip(V15, p3891–3896, 2015),Scientific Reports(V4, N7344, p1-9, 2014),Analytica Chimica Acta(V695, p1-10, 2011),etc. Integrating these innovative methods and key components, four outstanding scientific instruments and medical devices were developed, i.e., the microfluidic chip-based isothermal amplification nucleic acid analyzers: (a) RTisochip-A for clinical medicine, (b) RTisochip-B for food safety, (c) RTisochip-C for rural areas and home health, and (d) RTisochip-P for application in extreme environments. These instruments were developed for isothermal nucleic acid amplification and sensitive real-time detection of amplified products for sequence-specific molecular identification, where the reactions occur in < 1.5-μL assays, the detection limit is better than 10 copies, the detection time is 45 min, and dozens of detection indices only need a single sample addition.

3. In thetraceanalysis field,from 2011-2014,themicro fiber spectrometerfrommy patenton areflective optical fiber sensorwas developed for droplet sample analysis,whichhasthe same sensitivity (pg/μL)as that of conventional spectrometers and spectrophotometers andcanremarkablyreduce sampleconsumption to< 1μLandextend the detectionrange to0-3000 ng/μL(traditional spectrometers can only detect therange ofconcentration from 0-50 ng/μLand need> 50 μL ofsample). The micro fiber spectrometeriscurrently usedfor nucleic acid and protein analysis in life science and medicine. Some new applications were also developed to improve the technology in deep UV spectrum analysis, includingon-siteexamination of six typesofillegal drugs and seven kinds ofexplosives for rapid drug control and antiterrorism,which has the same sensitivity as that of achromatograph. One patent(ZL200910236148.4)has been authorized,and three papers were published inAnalyst(V137, p1596-1603, 2012),Analytica Chimica Acta(V751, p112– 118, 2012), andAnalytical Methods(V6(24), p 9628-9633, 2014).

4. In the field of biosensors, from 2010-2016,surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI),hyperspectral white light interferometry,andhigh dark phase contrast of vapor condensationwere explored for visualization oflabel-freebiochemical reactions.These techniques can be used forhigh-throughput,multiple-phase,andlabel-free molecule interaction detection.There were alsothreepatents authorizedandfivepapers publishedinAnalytical Chemistry(V89, N6，p3501–3507, 2017),Lab on a Chip(V15, p3891–3896, 2015),Optics Letters(V38, p1524-26, 2013),Analyst(V137, p3760–3766, 2012) andJ.Biomedical Optics(V17, N1, p015005-1-8, 2012),etc.

5. In the field of biochip-basedin vitrofertilization(IVF), from 2007-2010,the biochip-basedIVF systemwas developed for the application ofin situfertilization.Anovel microwell-structuredmicrofluidic device that integrates single oocyte trapping, fertilization, and subsequentembryo culturewas explored. A microwell array was used to capture and hold individual oocytes during the flow-throughprocess of oocyte and sperm loading, medium substitution, and debris cleaning. Embryos could becultured to the blastocyst stage inthesedevices, with developmental status individually monitored andtracked. The results suggest that the microfluidic device maybringseveral advantages to IVF practicesby simplifying oocyte handling and manipulation, allowing rapid and convenient medium changing,and enabling automated tracking of any single embryo’s development.This work indicates apotentialforlivecell culture andinsitudetection, and it could substitute for CO₂constant temperature incubatorsandlive-cell microscope workstations.Twopatents(one international patent)have already been authorized (ZL201010218520.1 and PCT/CN2011/001013). Three papers were published inLab on a Chip(V20, p2848-2854, 2010),Clinical Chemistry(V56,1270–1278, 2010), andAnalytical Chemistry(V83, 2964-2970,2011).

6. In the field ofnon-invasiveimaging of humansin vivoand the Chinese medicine eye-like health analysis,from 2015-2020,a novel shadowless imaging techniquefor Chinese medicine eye-like health analysiswas explored,which isfree from the illumination source’s reflection shadow overlapping the white of the eye and enables fast eyeball wide-field imaging fornon-invasivedisease diagnosticsof viscerainvivo.Compared to commonly used ophthalmology diagnosis instruments and rayimaging equipment, this novel shadowless imaging system has the following advantages:without the interference of the reflection shadow from the light source,no image splicing is required, it isnon invasive (no radius damage), and it is suitable for long-term follow-up monitoring.Three patents (201510904265.9, US768332000200, and 201630058969.4) have been applied for, including one international patent, and one of them has been authorized (ZL201630058969.4). The eye-like health analyzer also obtained theRed Star Design Award(Chinese Industrial Design Best Awards) from the China Design Red Star Award Committee in 2016. Meanings of the works:development of automation and precision of the Chinese medicine eye-like health analysis will be promoted.
