چکیده
A high-throughput microfluidic device is developed to handle liquid dispensation in nanoliter range. The dispenser system shows no cross-contamination between the microwells, indicating its great potential in large-scale screening experiments. An array of 115 nl PCR reactions, as well as the single channel addressable chip demonstrate the high flexibility and wide applications of this novel system.

Design and Simulation of High-throughput Microfluidic Droplet Dispenser for Lab-on-a-Chip Applications
Digital Microfluidic Biochips (DMFBs) have been widely used in Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for disease diagnosis and treatment applications. Biological sample to be processed are originally analog continuous flow. To convert it into digital droplets for DMFB processing, a microfluidic droplet dispenser acting as an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is needed. In this paper, a highthroughput analog-to-d...
متن کاملA microfluidic thermometer: Precise temperature measurements in microliter- and nanoliter-scale volumes
Measuring the temperature of a sample is a fundamental need in many biological and chemical processes. When the volume of the sample is on the microliter or nanoliter scale (e.g., cells, microorganisms, precious samples, or samples in microfluidic devices), accurate measurement of the sample temperature becomes challenging. In this work, we demonstrate a technique for accurately determining the...
متن کاملGeneration of picoliter and nanoliter drops on demand in a microfluidic chip
In this work, we introduce the novel technique of inchip drop on demand, which consists in dispensing picoliter to nanoliter drops on demand directly in the liquid-filled channels of a polymer microfluidic chip, at frequencies up to 2.5 kHz and with precise volume control. The technique involves a PDMS chip with one or several microliter-size chambers driven by piezoelectric actuators. In this ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Systems Integrated Microfluidic Systems**
Microfluidic systems use networks of channels thinner than a human hair to manipulate nanoliter volumes of reagents. The goal of microfluidics is challenging: to integrate, on a chip smaller than a credit card, all operations normally performed in a chemical or medical laboratory. Synthesis, purification, analysis, and diagnostics would be performed by such a “lab on a chip” rapidly, economical...
متن کاملA simple microfluidic dispenser for single-microparticle and cell samples.
Non-destructive isolation of single-cells has become an important need for many biology research laboratories; however, there is a lack of easily employed and inexpensive tools. Here, we present a single-particle sample delivery approach fabricated from simple, economical components that may address this need. In this, we employ unique flow and timing strategies to bridge the significant force ...
