Systematic modeling of microfluidic concentration gradient generators
This paper presents a systematic modeling methodology for microfluidic concentration gradient generators. The generator is decomposed into a system of microfluidic elements with relatively simple geometries. Parameterized models for such elements are analytically developed and hold for general sample concentration profiles and arbitrary flow ratios at the element inlet; hence, they are valid fo...
متن کاملMicrofluidic quadrupole and floating concentration gradient
The concept of fluidic multipoles, in analogy to electrostatics, has long been known as a particular class of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in potential flows; however, experimental observations of fluidic multipoles and of their characteristics have not been reported yet. Here we present a two-dimensional microfluidic quadrupole and a theoretical analysis consistent with the experime...
متن کاملDrying with no concentration gradient in large microfluidic droplets.
In most situations, drying is accompanied by the development of strong concentration gradients. Here, we evidence theoretically and experimentally that there exist microfluidic geometries for which confined drying becomes homogeneous, i.e., with no concentration gradient regardless of the type of solute involved in the process; ions, molecules, and colloids do concentrate in the same way provid...
متن کاملConcentration gradient generation methods based on microfluidic systems
Various concentration gradient generation methods based on microfluidic systems are summarized in this paper. The review covers typical structural characteristics, gradient generation mechanisms, theoretical calculation formulas, applicable scopes, and advantages and disadvantages of these approaches in detail. According to the type of reagents involved, these methods are classified into mono-p...
متن کاملMicrofluidic temperature gradient focusing.
A new technique is described for the concentration and separation of ionic species in solution within microchannels or capillaries. Concentration is achieved by balancing the electrophoretic velocity of an analyte against the bulk flow of solution in the presence of a temperature gradient. With an appropriate buffer, the temperature gradient can generate a corresponding gradient in the electrop...
