    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a new and improved microfluidic system which can precisely measure mechanical properties of a biological system such as single cell. The microfluidic system disclosed herein can enable measurement of cell mechanics at high throughputs, and can solve the channel clogging problem inherent in conventional bio-microfluidic devices. Further, the disclosed microfluidic system can eliminate cell-substrate interactions and provide more accurate estimate of mechanical properties of biological system. In an aspect, present disclosure provides a microfluidic system for determining mechanical properties of biological cells through single cell compression, wherein the system can include (a) a first microfluidic channel including an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being configured to receive a fluidic medium containing cells into the first microfluidic channel, and the outlet being configured to dispense the fluidic medium from the first microfluidic channel; and (b) a second microfluidic channel including a first air inlet and a second opposite air inlet; wherein the first and second microfluidic channels intersect perpendicularly to each other to form an intersection region; wherein each of the first and second air inlets receives pressurized air that flows towards the intersection region, and wherein the air flow creates, in the intersection region, an air/liquid interface which squeezes the cells as they pass through the air/liquid interface.

    摘要: Devices and methods are provided for the separation and dispensing of material using a microfluidic separation column connected via an exit channel to one or more sheath flow channels. The flow of separated material through the separation column is at least partially driven by a voltage potential between a first electrode within the separation column and a terminating electrode within at least one of the sheath flow channels. The separation column, exit channel, sheath flow channels, and electrodes are all within a single monolithic chip. The presence of an on-chip terminating electrode allows for separated material to be entrained in the sheath fluids and ejected onto a surface that can be non-conductive. The presence of multiple sheath flows allows for sheath flow fluids to have different compositions from one another, while reducing the occurrence of sheath flow fluids entering the separation column.

    摘要: Microfluidic systems and methods are described for capturing magnetic target entities bound to one or more magnetic beads. The systems include a well array device that includes a substrate with a surface that has a plurality of wells arranged in one or more arrays on the surface. A first array of wells is arranged adjacent to a first location on the surface. A second and subsequent arrays, if present, are arranged sequentially on the surface at second and subsequent locations. When a liquid sample is added onto the substrate and caused to flow, the liquid sample will flow across the first array first and then flow across the second and subsequent arrays in sequential order. The wells in the first array each have a size that permits entry of only one target entity into the well and each well in the first array has approximately the same size.

    摘要: A portable, microfluidic blood plasma separation device is presented featuring a constriction-expansion design, which can produce up to about 100% purity for undiluted blood at least about 9% yield. This level of purity represents an improvement of at least one order of magnitude with increased yield compared to that achieved previously using passive separation. The system features high flow rates, 5-30 μΙ/min plasma collection, with minimal clogging and biofouling. The simple, portable blood plasma separation design can be hand-driven and can easily be incorporated with microfluidic or laboratory scale diagnostic assays. The separation system can be used in conjunction with portable analyte detection tests at concentrations well below clinical relevancy for undiluted whole blood.
