Pumping of mammalian cells with a nozzle-diffuser micropump.
We discuss the successful transport of jurkat cells and 5D10 hybridoma cells using a reciprocating micropump with nozzle-diffuser elements. The effect of the pumping action on cell viability and proliferation, as well as on the damaging of cellular membranes is quantified using four types of well-established biological tests: a trypan blue solution, the tetrazolium salt WST-1 reagent, the LDH c...
متن کاملA comparative study of nozzle/diffuser micropumps with novel valves.
This study conducts an experimental study concerning the improvement of nozzle/diffuser micropump design using some novel no-moving-part valves. A total of three micropumps, including two enhancement structures having two-fin or obstacle structure and one conventional micro nozzle/diffuser design, are made and tested in this study. It is found that dramatic increase of the pressure drops across...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Valve Less PZT Micropump for Drug Delivery System
In this paper some discrete parts of an electrostatic and flat-walled self-aligned valveless, micropump for drug delivery system is designed and simulated. The core component of the system is a piezoelectric diaphragm that can convert the reciprocating movement of a diaphragm actuated by a piezoelectric actuator into a pumping effect. The deflection in the diaphragm was analyzed by applying the...
متن کاملDiffuser and Nozzle Design Optimization by Entropy Generation Minimization
Diffusers and nozzles within a flow system are optimized with respect to their wall shapes for a given change in cross sections. The optimization target is a low value of the head loss coefficientK, which can be linked to the overall entropy generation due to the conduit component. First, a polynomial shape of the wall with two degrees of freedom is assumed. As a second approach six equally spa...
متن کاملLow Reynolds Number Flow Through Nozzle-Diffuser Elements in Valveless Micropumps
Flow characteristics of low Reynolds number laminar flow through gradually expanding conical and planar diffusers were investigated. Such diffusers are used in valveless micropumps to effect flow rectification and thus lead to pumping action in one preferential direction. Four different types of diffuser flows are considered: fully developed and thin inlet boundary layer flows through conical a...
