Hydrodynamic focusing for microfluidic impedance cytometry: a system integration study
prototype lab-on-a-chip for experimental validation using latex particles. We find that ionic diffusion can be a critical limiting factor even at high Péclet number. Moreover, we explore geometric variations, revealing that the ionic diffusion-related distance between the center of the hydrodynamic focusing junction and the impedance measurement electrodes plays a dominant role. With our device...
متن کاملThree-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing in a microfluidic Coulter counter.
Electrical impedance-based particle detection or Coulter counting, offers a lab-on-chip compatible method for flow cytometry. Developments in this area will produce devices with greater portability, lower cost, and lower power requirements than fluorescence-based flow cytometry. Because conventional Coulter apertures are prone to clogging, hydrodynamic focusing improves the device by creating f...
متن کاملControlled vesicle self-assembly in microfluidic channels with hydrodynamic focusing.
Traditional liposome preparation methods are based on mixing of bulk phases, leading to inhomogeneous chemical and/or mechanical conditions during formation; hence liposomes are often polydisperse in size and lamellarity. Here we show the formation of liposomes that encapsulate reagents in a continuous two-phase flow microfluidic network with precision control of size from 100 to 300 nm by mani...
متن کاملUniversally applicable three-dimensional hydrodynamic microfluidic flow focusing.
We have demonstrated a microfluidic device that can not only achieve three-dimensional flow focusing but also confine particles to the center stream along the channel. The device has a sample channel of smaller height and two sheath flow channels of greater height, merged into the downstream main channel where 3D focusing effects occur. We have demonstrated that both beads and cells in our devi...
متن کامل"Microfluidic drifting"--implementing three-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing with a single-layer planar microfluidic device.
We introduce a novel fluid manipulation technique named "microfluidic drifting" to enable three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing with a simple single-layer planar microfluidic device.
