Sperm Cell Separation Using a Spiral Channel
This work presents a specifically designed spiral type inertial micro-fluidic channel for separating non-motile sperm cell from cellular debris. Demonstration with a mixture of non-motile sperm and red blood cells showed that 82% of sperm could be focused into a separate outlet from the red blood cells.
متن کاملContinuous separation of blood cells in spiral microfluidic devices.
Blood cell sorting is critical to sample preparation for both clinical diagnosis and therapeutic research. The spiral inertial microfluidic devices can achieve label-free, continuous separation of cell mixtures with high throughput and efficiency. The devices utilize hydrodynamic forces acting on cells within laminar flow, coupled with rotational Dean drag due to curvilinear microchannel geomet...
متن کاملSeparation of cancer cells from white blood cells by pinched flow fractionation.
In this paper, the microfluidic size-separation technique pinched flow fractionation (PFF) is used to separate cancer cells from white blood cells (WBCs). The cells are separated at efficiencies above 90% for both cell types. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are found in the blood of cancer patients and can form new tumors. CTCs are rare cells in blood, but they are important for the understandin...
متن کاملSeparation of Breast Cancer Cells from Blood Using Antibodies Fixed in Micro-channel
This work demonstrates the application of Bio-Micro Electro Mechanical System (Bio-MEMS) technology to breast cancer detection and diagnosis. In early breast cancer detection and diagnosis, instead of using conventional mammogram screening followed by biopsy diagnosis, this detection micro-device is developed to identify and collect specifically tumor cell of low abundance from blood. By immobi...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile of Adherent Cells Derived From Human Peripheral Blood: Evidence of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a novel option in cellular therapy and tissue engineering. Recent studies indicated that it is possible to obtain MSCs from peripheral blood by attachment ability to plastic surface. To evaluate adherent cells derived from peripheral blood, their expression profile and surface markers were investigated. The results of RT-PCR indicated that these cells expre...
