摘要: A system includes a microchannel analysis region, a first fluid actuation device, a second fluid actuation device, a sensor, and a controller. The first fluid actuation device is at a first end of the microchannel analysis region. The second fluid actuation device is at a second end of the microchannel analysis region opposite to the first end. The sensor is within the microchannel analysis region between the first fluid actuation device and the second fluid actuation device. The sensor measures an impedance of a fluid within the microchannel analysis region. The controller activates the first fluid actuation device to generate a first pressure wave in the fluid and activates the second fluid actuation device to generate a second pressure wave in the fluid. The first pressure wave and the second pressure wave converge at the sensor.

摘要: Disclosed are methods and microfluidic devices for successfully co-encapsulating two or more cells in a high-throughput, high efficiency manner. Cells are organized into two or more ordered streams flowing through separate microchannels of the microfluidic device. Cells in ordered streams are sufficiently spaced such that at a junction of the microfluidic device, single droplets are generated that include exactly one cell from the first ordered stream of cells and at least one cell from the second ordered stream of cells. Single droplets including two or more cells are useful for performing assays (e.g., high throughput cell-cell interaction assays).

摘要: A biological particle enrichment apparatus and a pico-droplet generator thereof are provided. The pico-droplet generator includes a container, a hollow needle connected to the container, a first piezoelectric member disposed on the container, and a second piezoelectric member disposed on the hollow needle. The container can receive a liquid specimen having biological particles. The hollow needle and the container are fluid communicated with each other, and an inner diameter of the container is within a range from 5 times to 30 times of an inner diameter of the hollow needle. The first piezoelectric member is annularly disposed on a surrounding lateral side of the container, and enables the biological particles in the container to move along a direction away from the surrounding lateral side by vibrating the container. The second piezoelectric member can squeeze the hollow needle, so that the liquid specimen flows outwardly to form a pico-droplet.

摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for rapid and precise manipulation and transfer of tiny liquid droplets. by dynamically introducing microstructures with relatively high surface energy to a non-wettable surface, which surface has in-situ switchable adhesion to liquid droplets. By penetrating microstructures on the background surface, the chemical property of the surface is locally modified. Capillary bridges will form between microstructures and liquid droplets which lead to high adhesive forces. When the microstructures are retracted, the capillary bridges either pinch-off or recede, which drastically reduces the adhesion. With proper chemical modification, the surface can either manipulate a liquid droplet in air or in an immiscible carrier liquid. Tiny droplets with volumes down to nanoliter scale can be prepared and dispensed by using the surface.

摘要: A fluid cartridge has a bottle to retain a volume of fluid. An ejector chip resides in fluid communication with the bottle and causes ejection of fluid upon activation of fluid ejectors. Control logic coordinates ejector activation with dose control logic and temperature control circuitry. The dose control logic pre-specifies an amount of fluid to be ejected and prevents further ejection upon reaching the amount. Meanwhile, the temperature control circuit inhibits any ejection until a temperature of the fluid is within a predefined acceptable range. Bottle modularity, fluid dispense-areas and group-control of the ejectors facilitate certain designs.
