Systematic modeling of microfluidic concentration gradient generators
This paper presents a systematic modeling methodology for microfluidic concentration gradient generators. The generator is decomposed into a system of microfluidic elements with relatively simple geometries. Parameterized models for such elements are analytically developed and hold for general sample concentration profiles and arbitrary flow ratios at the element inlet; hence, they are valid fo...
متن کاملMicrofluidic quadrupole and floating concentration gradient
The concept of fluidic multipoles, in analogy to electrostatics, has long been known as a particular class of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in potential flows; however, experimental observations of fluidic multipoles and of their characteristics have not been reported yet. Here we present a two-dimensional microfluidic quadrupole and a theoretical analysis consistent with the experime...
متن کاملA novel microfluidic platform with stable concentration gradient for on chip cell culture and screening assays.
In this work a novel microfluidic platform for cell culture and assay is developed. On the chip a static cell culture region is coupled with dynamic fluidic nutrition supply structures. The cell culture unit has a sandwich structure with liquid channels on the top, the cell culture reservoir in the middle and gas channels on the bottom. Samples can be easily loaded into the reservoir and exchan...
متن کاملDrying with no concentration gradient in large microfluidic droplets.
In most situations, drying is accompanied by the development of strong concentration gradients. Here, we evidence theoretically and experimentally that there exist microfluidic geometries for which confined drying becomes homogeneous, i.e., with no concentration gradient regardless of the type of solute involved in the process; ions, molecules, and colloids do concentrate in the same way provid...
متن کاملConcentration gradient generation methods based on microfluidic systems
Various concentration gradient generation methods based on microfluidic systems are summarized in this paper. The review covers typical structural characteristics, gradient generation mechanisms, theoretical calculation formulas, applicable scopes, and advantages and disadvantages of these approaches in detail. According to the type of reagents involved, these methods are classified into mono-p...
