摘要: An optofluidic photobioreactor including an optical waveguide having an input, characterized by an evanescent optical field confined along an outer surface of the optical waveguide produced by radiation propagating in the optical waveguide, means for inputting light to the input of the optical waveguide, and a selected photosynthetic microorganism disposed substantially within the evanescent field. A method for optically exciting a photosynthetic microorganism for generating a biofuel, a biofuel precursor, or a biomass from the optically-excited photosynthetic microorganism involves irradiating the photosynthetic microorganism attached to the surface of the waveguide with an evanescent optical field from optical radiation propagating in the optical waveguide, and driving photosynthesis in the microorganism by the evanescent optical field.

摘要: A method for determining specific heat capacity of fluids includes: (a) injecting a reference fluid into at least one channel of a reference substrate and a sample fluid into at least one channel of a sample substrate; (b) establishing a temperature gradient along the at least one channel of each substrate; (c) measuring temperature differential between the reference and sample substrates along the temperature gradient for a stagnant condition to define a baseline temperature differential, and for each of a plurality of flowrate ratios of the reference and sample fluids flowing through respective channels; and (d) based on the measuring in (c), determining a thermally-balanced flowrate ratio at which the temperature differential corresponds to the baseline temperature differential, and evaluating the specific heat capacity of the sample fluid based on the thermally-balanced flowrate ratio.

摘要: A device for selecting sperm includes a stack of a plurality of layers of a material. The stack has an inlet end and an outlet end. Each layer of the material includes a plurality of sperm selection microchannels. Each sperm selection microchannel has a respective microchannel inlet at the inlet end of the stack and extends to a respective microchannel outlet at the outlet end of the stack.

摘要: The present invention provides a microfluidic device with a confined geometry for isolating a slither-capable subpopulation of sperm which is of higher quality than the raw sperm population. The proposed device isolates slither-capable sperm based on their ability to enter and traverse a confined region where 3D locomotion is restricted. The DNA integrity of the selected sperm was higher than that of the corresponding raw samples by 55% and 122% for donors and patients, respectively. In side-by-side testing this method outperforms current clinical selection methods, density gradient centrifugation and swim-up, as well as sperm selected via general motility. Slithering represents a viable selection mechanism, readily applicable to clinical workflows with the potential to improve outcomes for couples and offspring.
