Microfluidic device for single-cell analysis.
We have developed a novel microfluidic device constructed from poly(dimethylsiloxane) using multilayer soft lithography technology for the analysis of single cells. The microfluidic network enables the passive and gentle separation of a single cell from the bulk cell suspension, and integrated valves and pumps enable the precise delivery of nanoliter volumes of reagents to that cell. Various ap...
متن کاملMicrochamber Device for Detection of Transporter Activity of Adherent Cells
We present a method to detect the transporter activity of intact adherent cells using a microchamber device. When adherent cells are seeded onto the poly-di-methyl siloxane substrate having microchambers with openings smaller than the size of a cell, the cells form a confluent layer that covers the microchambers, creating minute, confined spaces. As substances exported across the cell membrane ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Device for Single Cell Studies of Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal Cord Injury is damage to the spinal cord due to physical trauma. Study of spinal cord injury has hardly been achieved at the single cell level. Polymer microfluidics devices may provide a unique in vitro platform for studying single neuronal responses to mechanical forces. For example, one device developed in our lab, called microchannel device, is made from poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS...
متن کاملMicrofluidic device for mechanical dissociation of cancer cell aggregates into single cells.
Tumors tissues house a diverse array of cell types, requiring powerful cell-based analysis methods to characterize cellular heterogeneity and identify rare cells. Tumor tissue is dissociated into single cells by treatment with proteolytic enzymes, followed by mechanical disruption using vortexing or pipetting. These procedures can be incomplete and require significant time, and the latter mecha...
متن کاملClassification of cell types using a microfluidic device for mechanical and electrical measurement on single cells.
This paper presents a microfluidic system for cell type classification using mechanical and electrical measurements on single cells. Cells are aspirated continuously through a constriction channel with cell elongations and impedance profiles measured simultaneously. The cell transit time through the constriction channel and the impedance amplitude ratio are quantified as cell's mechanical and e...
