    摘要: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a channel, an opening in the channel, and a heating element aligned with the opening on opposite sides of the channel. The channel contains a droplet of a first liquid containing a particle, wherein the droplet is carried within a second liquid in the channel. The heating element is to heat the first liquid to generate a vapor in the first liquid to eject the droplet of the first liquid through the opening.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a microfluidic device including a microfluidic substrate and dry reagent-containing polymer particles. The microfluidic substrate includes a microfluidic-retaining region within the microfluidic substrate that is fluidly coupled to multiple microfluidic channels. The dry reagent-containing polymer particles include reagent and a degradable polymer. The reagent is releasable from the degradable polymer when exposed to release fluid. The dry reagent-containing particles are retained within the microfluidic substrate at the microfluidic-retaining region in position to release reagent into the egress microfluidic channel upon flow of release fluid from the ingress microfluidic channel through the microfluidic-retaining region.

    摘要: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a channel, a reagent chamber, a synthetic jet channel, and an energy source. The channel is to hold a cell. The reagent chamber is coupled to the channel and stores a reagent. The synthetic jet channel is coupled to the channel and the reagent chamber. The energy source is located in the synthetic jet channel to heat a liquid in the synthetic jet channel to create a synthetic jet that carries the reagent through towards the cell to inject the reagent into the cell.

    摘要: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a cell preparation system is described. The cell preparation system includes a fluidic channel to transport cells in single file past multiple detection devices. The cell preparation system also includes a series of detection devices. Each detection device includes 1) a constriction to deform a cell found therein and 2) a sensor to measure a state within the constriction. The cell preparation system also includes a controller. The controller analyzes outputs from multiple sensors to 1) verify a single file transport of cells through the system and 2) identify a cell that passes through the fluidic channel.
