Manufacturing and wetting low-cost microfluidic cell separation devices.
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a microfluidic size-based particle separation or filter technology with applications in cell separation and enrichment. Currently, there are no cost-effective manufacturing methods for this promising microfluidic technology. In this fabrication paper, however, we develop a simple, yet robust protocol for thermoplastic DLD devices using regulatory-appr...
متن کاملLow-cost Integrated Screw-based Micropumps for Thermoplastic Microfluidic Devices
A method for integrating on-chip displacement micropumps in thermoplastic microfluidic devices is presented. Stainless steel screws serve as direct displacement pumping elements integrated directly into threaded ports formed in a thermoplastic substrate, with a microcontroller used to precisely modulate flow rates over a wide range from 0.5 – 35 μL/min, in a compact and portable format. Combine...
متن کاملAutomated Dielectrophoretic Characterization for Microfluidic Cell Separation Devices
We present a novel analysis technique for automated characterization of particles and cells using dielectrophoresis (DEP). We combine an automated experimental system to measure DEP particle trapping via fluorescence intensity with physically informed computational methods and sophisticated particle models to make robust measurements of DEP force magnitude. The system uses a LabVIEW-controlled ...
متن کاملRapid and continuous magnetic separation in droplet microfluidic devices.
We present a droplet microfluidic method to extract molecules of interest from a droplet in a rapid and continuous fashion. We accomplish this by first marginalizing functionalized super-paramagnetic beads within the droplet using a magnetic field, and then splitting the droplet into one droplet containing the majority of magnetic beads and one droplet containing the minority fraction. We quant...
متن کاملMicrofluidic devices for cell cultivation and proliferation.
Microfluidic technology provides precise, controlled-environment, cost-effective, compact, integrated, and high-throughput microsystems that are promising substitutes for conventional biological laboratory methods. In recent years, microfluidic cell culture devices have been used for applications such as tissue engineering, diagnostics, drug screening, immunology, cancer studies, stem cell prol...
