Automated Chemotactic Sorting and Single-cell Cultivation of Microbes using Droplet Microfluidics
We report a microfluidic device for automated sorting and cultivation of chemotactic microbes from pure cultures or mixtures. The device consists of two parts: in the first part, a concentration gradient of the chemoeffector was built across the channel for inducing chemotaxis of motile cells; in the second part, chemotactic cells from the sample were separated, and mixed with culture media to ...
متن کاملLabel-free cell separation and sorting in microfluidic systems
Cell separation and sorting are essential steps in cell biology research and in many diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Recently, there has been interest in methods which avoid the use of biochemical labels; numerous intrinsic biomarkers have been explored to identify cells including size, electrical polarizability, and hydrodynamic properties. This review highlights microfluidic techniques us...
متن کاملRotational motion of a droplet induced by interfacial tension.
Spontaneous rotation of a droplet induced by the Marangoni flow is analyzed in a two-dimensional system. The droplet with the small particle which supplies a surfactant at the interface is considered. We calculated flow field around the droplet using the Stokes equation and found that advective nonlinearity breaks symmetry for rotation. Theoretical calculation indicates that the droplet spontan...
متن کاملUltrahigh-throughput-directed enzyme evolution by absorbance-activated droplet sorting (AADS).
Ultrahigh-throughput screening, in which members of enzyme libraries compartmentalized in water-in-oil emulsion droplets are assayed, has emerged as a powerful format for directed evolution and functional metagenomics but is currently limited to fluorescence readouts. Here we describe a highly efficient microfluidic absorbance-activated droplet sorter (AADS) that extends the range of assays ame...
متن کاملSize Based Droplet Sorting with Wide Tuning Range Using Tensiophoresis
Size-based droplet sorting can be used to improve the monodispersity of droplet populations in chemical assays, and as a label-free measurement in cell-in-droplet assays. Several microfluidic approaches can efficiently perform binary sorting based on a size threshold; however, the thresholds are typically fixed by the channel design. This paper presents a passive drop sorting technique in which...
