    摘要: A method is provided for acoustically ejecting from a channel or other container a plurality of fluid droplets, each of which contains one or more particles or other localized volumes. The localized volumes, which can be living cells, are ejected towards sites on a substrate surface, a container, or a channel. An integrated cell sorting and arraying system is also provided that is capable of sorting based upon cellular properties by the selective ejection of cells from a carrier fluid. The cells can be ejected with adjustable velocity and trajectory. The ejected cells can be directed to form an array, wherein each site of the array can contain a single cell. Additionally provided is a method of forming arrays of single live cells more efficiently, rapidly, flexibly, and economically than by other cell array approaches. This method permits efficient, continuous, and simultaneous sorting of cells based upon the quantitative or semiquantitative measurement of cellular properties, and also permits non-binary or severally-branched decision-making. An integrated system, which includes a processor, and methods are also provided for the detection, selection, and ejection of selected particles or circumscribed volumes, such as live cells, from a continuous stream of fluid-suspended particles or other circumscribed volumes flowing in channels.

    摘要: This invention is directed to the use of focused acoustic energy in the spatially directed ejection of cells suspended in a carrier fluid, for printing and patterning cells onto a substrate surface, for example to pattern an array of cells onto a substrate. An array of cells on a substrate surface comprising an array of substantially planar sites, with each site containing a single cell, is consequently also provided. Also disclosed are methods for the systematic generation and screening of arrays of living cells on a substrate from fluids containing one or more living cells. A method of attaching cells displaying a specific marker moiety on their surface, through specific recognition of the marker moiety by a cognate moiety that is linked to the surface is provided. Cells may be transformed to display a specific marker recognized by a corresponding cognate moiety, or the marker moiety may appear on untransformed cells. Cells displaying marker moieties may be conveniently attached to a surface functionalized with the cognate moiety. The combination of acoustic ejection and the marker moiety/cognate moiety system can be employed to select cells displaying a specific marker for adhesion to a substrate surface. The combination of several different marker moieties uniquely displayed on the cell surface of different types of cells combined with an array of different cognate moieties on a substrate may be employed in conjunction with the acoustic ejection of single living cells to create cell arrays with a specific number of cells displaying a specific marker attached to the substrate surface at a desired locale or region.

    摘要: A fluid medium containing suspended particles is subjected to an asymmetrical sound wave having a high velocity in one direction of movement and a low velocity in the opposite direction of movement. The velocities are sufficiently great to produce square-law drag forces; and the suspended particles will be propelled through the fluid medium in a direction corresponding to the high velocity direction of the fluid medium.
