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 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...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte Multilayers in Microfluidic Systems for Biological Applications
The formation of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) for the first time, two decades ago, demonstrating the assembly on charged substrates in a very simple and efficient way, has proven to be a reliable method to obtain structures tunable at the nanometer scale. Much effort has been put into the assembly of these structures for their use in biological applications. A number of these efforts have...
