Viscoelastic Based Droplet Sorting in Microfluidic Channels
We present a passive droplet sorting technique based on intrinsic viscoelastic fluid properties dependent on inner and outer fluid phase viscosity ratio (k-value), droplet deformability, and viscoelastic properties. We demonstrate sorting rates of >200 Hz of both homogeneous and heterogeneous sized droplet populations between 40-100 μm‟s and enrichment rates as high as 99%. We demonstrate sorti...
متن کاملThermoset polyester droplet-based microfluidic devices for high frequency generation.
The vast majority of droplet-based microfluidic devices are made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Unfortunately PDMS is not suitable for high frequency droplet generation at high operating pressure due to its low shear modulus. In this paper, we report the fabrication and testing of microfluidic devices using thermoset polyester (TPE). The optical characteristics of the fabricated devices were...
متن کاملMicrofluidic devices for droplet sorting, on-line sensing, and microwinery
This paper reports on a microfluidic device capable of sorting droplets utilizing conventional bilayer pneumatic micro-valves as sorting controllers. The device consists of two micro-valves placed symmetrically on two sides of a sorting area, each on top of a branching channel at an inclined angle with respect to the main channel. Changes in transmitted light intensity, induced by varying light...
متن کاملHydrogel-droplet microfluidic platform for high-resolution imaging and sorting of early larval Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model organism in research on neuroscience and development because of its stereotyped anatomy, relevance to human biology, and ease of culture and genetic manipulation. The first larval stage (L1) is of particular interest in many biological problems, including post-embryonic developmental processes and developmental decision-making, such as d...
متن کاملFluorescence-activated droplet sorting (FADS): efficient microfluidic cell sorting based on enzymatic activity.
We describe a highly efficient microfluidic fluorescence-activated droplet sorter (FADS) combining many of the advantages of microtitre-plate screening and traditional fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Single cells are compartmentalized in emulsion droplets, which can be sorted using dielectrophoresis in a fluorescence-activated manner (as in FACS) at rates up to 2000 droplets s(-1). ...
