A membrane-based microfluidic device for mechano-chemical cell manipulation
We introduce a microfluidic device for chemical manipulation and mechanical investigation of circulating cells. The device consists of two crossing microfluidic channels separated by a porous membrane. A chemical compound is flown through the upper "stimulus channel", which diffuses through the membrane into the lower "cell analysis channel", in which cells are mechanically deformed in two sequ...
متن کاملMagnetophoretic-based microfluidic device for DNA Concentration.
Nucleic acids serve as biomarkers of disease and it is highly desirable to develop approaches to extract small number of such genomic extracts from human bodily fluids. Magnetic particles-based nucleic acid extraction is widely used for concentration of small amount of samples and is followed by DNA amplification in specific assays. However, approaches to integrate such magnetic particles based...
متن کاملOne-step polymer screen-printing for microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) fabrication.
We report a simple, low-cost, one-step fabrication method for microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPAD) using only polystyrene and a patterned screen. The polystyrene solution applied through the screen penetrates through the paper, forming a three-dimensional hydrophobic barrier, defining a hydrophilic analysis zone. The optimal polystyrene concentration and paper types were first inv...
متن کاملCo-axial capillaries microfluidic device for synthesizing size- and morphology-controlled polymer core-polymer shell particles.
An easy assembling-disassembling co-axial capillaries microfluidic device was built up for the production of double droplets. Uniform polymer core-polymer shell particles were synthesized by polymerizing the two immiscible monomer phases composing the double droplet. Thus poly(acrylamide) core-poly(tri(propylene glycol) diacrylate) shell particles with controlled core diameter and shell thickne...
متن کاملMeasuring 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...
