Measuring Cell Viscoelastic Properties Using a Microfluidic Extensional Flow Device.
The quantification of cellular mechanical properties is of tremendous interest in biology and medicine. Recent microfluidic technologies that infer cellular mechanical properties based on analysis of cellular deformations during microchannel traversal have dramatically improved throughput over traditional single-cell rheological tools, yet the extraction of material parameters from these measur...
متن کاملmeasuring viscoelastic properties of Red Blood Cell using optical tweezers
Efforts have been made to study the behavior of complex materials in micrometer dimensions with various techniques. One of these methods is the use of optical tweezers for biophysical applications. Red blood cells, as the most abundant blood-forming cells, play an important role in the life of living organisms, and their unique mechanical properties are important. In this report, the study of s...
متن کاملTwin Plate Weir: A Flow Measuring Device (TECHNICAL NOTE)
For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...
متن کاملExact solution for the extensional flow of a viscoelastic filament
We solve the free boundary problem for the dynamics of a cylindrical, axisymmetric viscoelastic filament stretching in a gravity-driven extensional flow for the Upper Convected Maxwell and Oldroyd-B constitutive models. Assuming the axial stress in the filament has a spatial dependence provides the simplest coupling of viscoelastic effects to the motion of the filament, and yields a closed syst...
متن کاملPatterning microfluidic device wettability using flow confinement.
We present a simple method to spatially pattern the surface properties of microfluidic devices using flow confinement. Our technique allows surface patterning with micron-scale resolution. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we use it to pattern wettability to form W/O/W and O/W/O double emulsions.
