Universal microfluidic gradient generator.
The study of cellular responses to chemical gradients in vitro would greatly benefit from experimental systems that can generate precise and stable gradients comparable to chemical nonhomogeneities occurring in vivo. Recently, microfluidic devices have been demonstrated for linear gradient generation for biological applications with unmatched accuracy and stability. However, no systematic appro...
متن کاملA Transwell Microfluidic Gradient Generator for Cell Culture
We describe and characterize a microfluidic device that enables the generation of quantitative biomolecular gradients in an innovative format which interfaces directly with pre-existing cell cultures. Our device is a simple, easy-to-use add-on that utilizes conventional 6-well plates and the format of Transwell inserts to support a microfluidic membrane-based gradient generator that is untether...
متن کاملSimulation of a Microfluidic Gradient Generator using Lattice Boltzmann Methods
Microfluidics provides a powerful and versatile technology to accurately control spatial and temporal conditions for cell culturing and can therefore be used to study cellular responses to gradients. Here we use Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) to solve both the Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) for the fluid and the coupled convection-diffusion equation (CDE) for the compounds that form the diffusio...
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 کاملSystematic 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...
