Optimization of microfluidic microsphere-trap arrays.
Microarray devices are powerful for detecting and analyzing biological targets. However, the potential of these devices may not be fully realized due to the lack of optimization of their design and implementation. In this work, we consider a microsphere-trap array device by employing microfluidic techniques and a hydrodynamic trapping mechanism. We design a novel geometric structure of the trap...
متن کاملOptimization of microfluidic trap-based microsphere arrays
We build a microfluidic trap-based microsphere array device. In the device, we design a novel geometric structure of the trap array and employ the hydrodynamic trapping mechanism to immobilize the microspheres. We develop a comprehensive and robust framework to optimize the values of the geometric parameters to maximize the microsphere arrays’ packing density. We also simultaneously optimize mu...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Microsphere-Trap Arrays for Simultaneous Detection of Multiple Targets
Microsphere arrays can be used to effectively detect, identify, and quantify biological targets, such as mRNAs, proteins, antibodies, and cells. In this work, we design a microfluidic microsphere-trap array device that enables simultaneous, efficient, and accurate screening of multiple targets on a single platform. Different types of targets are captured on the surfaces of microspheres of diffe...
متن کاملSimultaneous detection of multiple biological targets using optimized microfluidic microsphere-trap arrays
We propose an analytical framework to build a microfluidic microsphere-trap array device that enables simultaneous, efficient, and accurate screening of multiple biological targets in a single microfluidic channel. By optimizing the traps’ geometric parameters, the trap arrays in the channel of the device can immobilize microspheres of different sizes at different regions, obeying hydrodynamica...
متن کاملElectrokinetic Assembly of Microsphere and Cellular Arrays
We have developed a novel electrochemical system for field assisted, fluidic assembly of objects on a microfabricated silicon substrate by means of electrical addressing. The principle of our technique is based on the movement of charged species in solution to oppositely charged electrodes, as seen commonly in electrophoresis. Here, charged species such as beads and cells are moved electrokinet...
