Abstract: A microfluidic device uses hydrodynamic shear forces on a sample to improve the speed and efficiency of tissue digestion is disclosed. The microfluidic channels are designed to apply hydrodynamic shear forces at discrete locations on tissue specimens up to 1 cm in length and 1 mm in diameter, thereby accelerating digestion through hydrodynamic shear forces and improved enzyme-tissue contact. Experiments using animal organs show that the digestion device with hydro-mincing capabilities is superior to conventional scalpel mincing and digestion based on recovery of DNA and viable single cells. The microfluidic digestion device can eliminate or reduce the need to mince tissue samples with a scalpel, while reducing sample processing time and preserving cell viability. Another advantage is that downstream microfluidic operations could be integrated to enable advanced cell processing and analysis capabilities. The device may be used in research and clinical settings to promote single cell-based analysis technologies, as well as to isolate primary, progenitor, and stem cells for use in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract: A microfluidic tissue dissociation and filtration device simultaneously filters large tissue fragments and dissociates smaller aggregates into single cells, thereby improving single cell yield and purity. The device includes an inlet coupled to a first microfluidic channel at an upstream location and a first outlet at a downstream location. A first filter membrane is interposed between the first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel, wherein the second microfluidic channel is in fluidic communication with the first microfluidic channel via the first filter membrane. The first filter membrane operates under a tangential flow format. A second outlet is coupled to a downstream location of the second microfluidic channel and includes a second filter membrane interposed between the second outlet and the second microfluidic channel. The dual membrane device increased single cell numbers by at least 3-fold for different tissue types.

Abstract: Provided herein are devices and methods of processing a sample that include, in several embodiments, rotating one or more microfluidic chips that are mounted on a support plate using a motor driven rotational chuck. By spinning one or more of the microfluidic chips about a common center of rotation in a controlled manner, high flow rates (and high shear forces) are imparted to the sample in a controlled manner. Each microfluidic chip can be rotated 180° on the support plate so that the sample can be run back-and-forth through the microfluidic devices. Because the support plate can be driven at relatively high RPMs, high flow rates are generated within the microfluidic chips. This increases the shear forces on the sample and also decreases the processing time involved as the sample can quickly pass through the shear-inducing features of the microfluidic chip(s).
