    Abstract: A microfluidic EP device for exogenous molecules transfection is disclosed that has high speed, high viability, and efficiency for collection of cells after EP. The microfluidic EP device has an EP chamber assembly, an adaptor, a pop up device, a syringe pump assembly, an EP controller, and a system controller. The EP chamber assembly has a MEMS nano channel plate, a MEMS cap, a cell cavity plate, and a cell cavity plate holder. The EP chamber assembly is connected to the pop up device through the adaptor. The pop up device may be an ultrasound vibrator or a motorized rotator. The MEMS cap has inlets/outlets for inputting/outputting cell solution, washing solution, transfected cells, exogenous material solution. The solution fluid is inputted/outputted by plastic tube and needle adaptor to the syringe pump assembly. All operation sequences are controlled by the system controller, which may perform batch operation continuously.

    Abstract: A microfluidic electroporation device for exogenous molecules transfection is disclosed. The microfluidic electroporation device includes an electroporation chamber assembly, an ultrasound vibrator, and a controller. The electroporation chamber assembly includes an input chamber for exogenous molecules, a MEMS filter, an activation chamber and a MEMS plate. The MEMS plate holds cells within individual cavity for electroporation. Both the MEMS filter and the MEMS plate are made of semiconductor process by wet etching and/or ICP dry etching with V-shaped cavities. The top surfaces of the MEMS filter and the MEMS plate are coated with metal layer for applying electric field during the electroporation process. The electroporation chamber assembly is attached to an ultrasound vibrator which is operated intermittently to allow cells to be fixed in the cavity of the MEMS plate during electroporation process and popped out for collection after electroporation process.
