Microfluidic Micropillar Arrays for 3D Cell Culture
Cell-based assays are one of the most important steps to select huge amount of drug candidates in drug discovery. To get more credible assay results, cell culture in the form of microscale environment and three-dimension has been exploited by microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing. However, the method still needs an enhanced reliability of scaffold formation and fast cell immobilization in a microc...
متن کاملSingle cell on-chip whole genome amplification via micropillar arrays for reduced amplification bias
Single cell whole genome amplification is susceptible to amplification biases that impact the accuracy of single cell sequencing data. To address this, we have developed a microfluidic device for the isolation and purification of genomic DNA from individual cells. The device uses a micropillar array to physically capture single cells and its chromosomal DNA upon extraction. The extracted DNA is...
متن کاملCapillary flow through rectangular micropillar arrays
This work explores capillary flow through micropillar arrays with rectangular pillar arrangements. The effects of these configurations on permeability and capillary pressure are investigated for heat pipe wick applications. The permeability is described in terms of three dimensionless parameters: h=d; l=d, and S=d, where l and S are the edge-to-edge spacings in the xand y-directions, respective...
متن کاملDirectional imbibition on a chemically patterned silicon micropillar array.
Directional imbibition of oils (hexadecane, tetradecane, and dodecane) and water is demonstrated on a chemically patterned silicon micropillar array. Four different directional imbibition types are shown: unidirectional, two types of bidirectional and tridirectional imbibition. The surfaces consist of a silicon micropillar array with an overlaid surface chemistry pattern. This configuration lea...
متن کاملEffect of Silicon Nanowire on Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Characteristics
Nanowires (NWs) are recently used in several sensor or actuator devices to improve their ordered characteristics. Silicon nanowire (Si NW) is one of the most attractive one-dimensional nanostructures semiconductors because of its unique electrical and optical properties. In this paper, silicon nanowire (Si NW), is synthesized and characterized for application in photovoltaic device. Si NWs are ...
