Generation of alginate microfibers with a roller-assisted microfluidic system.
This work describes a convenient microfluidic strategy with a simple and minimal-requirement design for the generation of uniformly-sized alginate gel fibers with diameters one order of magnitude smaller than those formed in conventional methods. Different from common microfluidic methods, our system contains a single microchannel through which alginate solutions are transported and squeezed in...
متن کاملAir-bubble-triggered drop formation in microfluidics.
In microfluidic devices, droplets are normally formed using T-junction or flow focus mechanisms. While both afford a high degree of control over drop formation, they are limited in maximum production rate by the jetting transition. Here, we introduce a new drop formation mechanism that is not limited by jetting, allowing much faster drop production.
متن کاملImage Processing for Bubble Detection in Microfluidics
Starting from recently years, microfluidics devices have been widely used to build the biomedical devices and micro fuel cells. In the research on microfludics, high speed camera is widely used to record the motion of liquid bubbles in the microchannel, based on which the dynamics of bubbles can be interpreted. However, the mechanical vibration of the system causes the channel to deviate from i...
متن کاملPreparation, Modification, and Characterization of Alginate Hydrogel with Nano-/Microfibers: A New Perspective for Tissue Engineering
We aimed to develop an alginate hydrogel (AH) modified with nano-/microfibers of titanium dioxide (nfTD) and hydroxyapatite (nfHY) and evaluated its biological and chemical properties. Nano-/microfibers of nfTD and nfHY were combined with AH, and its chemical properties were evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-Ray analysis, and the cytocompatibility by the WST...
متن کاملChitosan-alginate Microfibers Generation on a Microfluidic Chip and Encapsulation of Hepg2 Cells
The successful encapsulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells would assist applications in tissue engineering. In this paper, we have developed a method to produce chitosan-alginate microfibers within a microfluidic chip. Also, by suspending cells in the mixing solution, we fabricated HepG2 cell-laden fibers. The encapsulated HepG2 cells in the chitosan–alginate fibers were more ...
