Lensless imaging for simultaneous microfluidic sperm monitoring and sorting.
5.3 million American couples of reproductive age (9%) are affected by infertility, among which male factors account for up to 50% of cases, which necessitates the identification of parameters defining sperm quality, including sperm count and motility. In vitro fertilization (IVF) with or without intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has become the most widely used assisted reproductive techn...
متن کاملA Microfluidic Device for Sorting Cancer Cells Based on Cell Motility
In this paper, we present a microfluidic device that allows for sorting of cancer cells based on their chemotactic migration speeds. We used breast cancer cell line cells to demonstrate cell seeding, migration and releasing in our microfluidic device. The ability of our device to provide subpopulations of chemotactically heterogeneous cancer cells should find useful applications in studying can...
متن کاملGravity-driven microfluidic particle sorting device with hydrodynamic separation amplification.
This paper describes a simple microfluidic sorting system that can perform size profiling and continuous mass-dependent separation of particles through combined use of gravity (1 g) and hydrodynamic flows capable of rapidly amplifying sedimentation-based separation between particles. Operation of the device relies on two microfluidic transport processes: (i) initial hydrodynamic focusing of par...
متن کاملHyperactivated sperm motility driven by CatSper2 is required for fertilization.
Elevations of sperm Ca2+ seem to be responsible for an asymmetric form of motility called hyperactivation, which is first seen near the time of fertilization. The mechanism by which intracellular Ca2+ concentrations increase remains unknown despite considerable investigation. Although several prototypical voltage-gated calcium channels are present in spermatozoa, they are not essential for moti...
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...
