A Microfluidic Chip for Cell Patterning Utilizing Paired Microwells and Protein Patterns "2279
Cell patterning has been widely used in research on fundamental cell biology and in applications such as tissue engineering, neuron network formation, cell based biosensor and drug screening. Although various methods have been developed, cell patterning in an enclosed microfluidic device at single cell level remains challenging. This paper describes a microfluidic device with microwells and pro...
متن کاملnDEP microwells for single-cell patterning in physiological media.
We present a novel technique to accurately position single cells on a substrate using negative dielectrophoresis and cell-substrate adhesion. The cells are suspended in physiological media throughout the patterning process. We also verify the biocompatibility of this method by demonstrating that the patterned cells proliferate and show normal morphology. We calculate the temperatures and transm...
متن کاملSingle-Cell Electric Lysis on an Electroosmotic-Driven Microfluidic Chip with Arrays of Microwells
Accurate analysis at the single-cell level has become a highly attractive tool for investigating cellular content. An electroosmotic-driven microfluidic chip with arrays of 30-μm-diameter microwells was developed for single-cell electric lysis in the present study. The cellular occupancy in the microwells when the applied voltage was 5 V (82.4%) was slightly higher than that at an applied volta...
متن کاملCell docking inside microwells within reversibly sealed microfluidic channels for fabricating multiphenotype cell arrays.
We present a soft lithographic method to fabricate multiphenotype cell arrays by capturing cells within an array of reversibly sealed microfluidic channels. The technique uses reversible sealing of elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds on surfaces to sequentially deliver various fluids or cells onto specific locations on a substrate. Microwells on the substrate were used to capture and ...
متن کاملNanofiber-based Surface Microfluidic Structures for Cell and Nanoparticle Patterning
Surface microfluidic (SMF) structures composed of nanofibers are fabricated and utilized to pattern cells and nanoparticles. The key technique of the fabrication is the synthesis of nanofibers during oxygen plasma removal of photoresist. With photolithography technology, the nanofiber-based SMF structures of diversiform morphologies are achieved. Due to large capillary forces caused by the larg...
