Large-volume Centrifugal Microfluidic Device for Whole Blood Sample Preparation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports a novel centrifugal microfluidic device for integrated sample preparation of large-volume whole blood samples for nucleic acid analysis. We present a device capable of processing 2 milliliters of undiluted blood while still allowing for the integration with downstream amplification and detection steps. In biological validation experiments, this device was shown to yield separated plasma samples with high purity (> 99.99%) in less than half the time of gold standard hospital techniques. We further propose the need for heightened emphasis placed on the development of μTAS devices capable of interfacing with large-volume samples.

Large-volume centrifugal microfluidic device for blood plasma separation.
BACKGROUND Microfluidic-based systems are ideal for handling small microliter volumes of samples and reagents, but 'real-world' or clinical samples for bioanalysis are often on the milliliter scale. We aimed to develop and validate a large-volume centrifugal or compact disc-based device for blood plasma separation, capable of processing 2 ml undiluted blood samples. RESULTS This automated blo...
متن کاملCentrifugal Microfluidic Platform for Ultrasensitive Detection of Botulinum Toxin
We present an innovative centrifugal microfluidic immunoassay platform (SpinDx) to address the urgent biodefense and public health need for ultrasensitive point-of-care/incident detection of botulinum toxin. The simple, sample-to-answer centrifugal microfluidic immunoassay approach is based on binding of toxins to antibody-laden capture particles followed by sedimentation of the particles throu...
متن کاملLabdisk Integrated Dna Extraction from Whole Blood Using Magnetic Particles
Integration of sample preparation is a key issue in the development of point of care diagnostic devices. We address the integration of a magnetic-particle based DNA extraction from 200 μl of whole blood into a centrifugal-microfluidic LabDisk. Quality of LabDisk extracted DNA was compared to DNA extracted by commercial spin columns as golden standard with four independent extractions from one b...
متن کاملNumerical modeling and experimental validation of uniform microchamber filling in centrifugal microfluidics.
In this paper, a comprehensive approach to numerical and experimental analysis of microchamber filling in centrifugal microfluidics is presented. In the development of micro total analysis systems, it is often necessary to achieve complete, uniform filling of relatively large microchambers, such as those needed for nucleic acid amplification or detection. With centrifugal devices, these large m...
متن کاملAutomated microfluidic system for RNA purification using a centrifugal force
Herein, we demonstrated a simple, rapid and automated RNA purification system based on a centrifugal force using three passive capillary valves and a silica sol-gel matrix. We designed three reservoirs (sample, washing solution, elution buffer) which were connected with different dimensional microfluidic channels. By controlling RPM, we could dispense the RNA sample, washing solution, and eluti...
