Microfluidic 3D Helix Mixers
Polymeric microfluidic systems are well suited for miniaturized devices with complex functionality, and rapid prototyping methods for 3D microfluidic structures are increasingly used. Mixing at the microscale and performing chemical reactions at the microscale are important applications of such systems and we therefore explored feasibility, mixing characteristics and the ability to control a ch...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Generation of Monodisperse, Structurally Homogeneous Alginate Microgels for Cell Encapsulation and 3D Cell Culture.
Monodisperse alginate microgels (10-50 μm) are created via droplet-based microfluidics by a novel crosslinking procedure. Ionic crosslinking of alginate is induced by release of chelated calcium ions. The process separates droplet formation and gelation reaction enabling excellent control over size and homogeneity under mild reaction conditions. Living mesenchymal stem cells are encapsulated an...
متن کامل3D Printed Multimaterial Microfluidic Valve
We present a novel 3D printed multimaterial microfluidic proportional valve. The microfluidic valve is a fundamental primitive that enables the development of programmable, automated devices for controlling fluids in a precise manner. We discuss valve characterization results, as well as exploratory design variations in channel width, membrane thickness, and membrane stiffness. Compared to prev...
متن کاملChitosan-alginate Microfibers Generation on a Microfluidic Chip and Encapsulation of Hepg2 Cells
The successful encapsulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells would assist applications in tissue engineering. In this paper, we have developed a method to produce chitosan-alginate microfibers within a microfluidic chip. Also, by suspending cells in the mixing solution, we fabricated HepG2 cell-laden fibers. The encapsulated HepG2 cells in the chitosan–alginate fibers were more ...
