A versatile platform for surface modification of microfluidic droplets.

چکیده
To advance emulsion droplet technology, we synthesize functional derivatives of Pluronic F127 that can simultaneously act as surfactants and as reactive sites for droplet surface decoration. The amine-, carboxyl-, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester-, maleimide- and biotin-terminated Pluronic F127 allows ligand immobilization on single-emulsion or double-emulsion droplets via electrostatic adsorption, covalent conjugation or site-specific avidin-biotin interaction.

Encapsulating Beads/cells in Uniform-sized Droplets on a Microfluidic Chip Utilizing Hydrophilic Modification of a Surface
ABSTRACT In this study we present a simple method to encapsulate beads or cells in the droplets on the microfluidic chip. The proposed chip integrates surface modification technique and pneumatic components, the droplets are formed directly without cross contamination of the carrier buffer. Therefore, the superfluous sample is recycled, which significantly reduces the sample consumption. Moreov...
متن کاملA biocompatible open-surface droplet manipulation platform for detection of multi-nucleotide polymorphism.
We present a novel and simple method to manipulate droplets applicable to an open-surface microfluidic platform. The platform comprised a control module for pneumatic droplets and a superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane. With pneumatic suction to cause deflection of the flexible PDMS-based superhydrophobic membrane, the sample and reagent droplets on the membrane become transpor...
متن کاملBioinspired TiO2 Nanostructure Films with Special Wettability and Adhesion for Droplets Manipulation and Patterning
Patterned surfaces with special wettability and adhesion (sliding, sticky or patterned superoleophobic surface) can be found on many living creatures. They offer a versatile platform for microfluidic management and other biological functions. Inspired by their precise arrangement of structure and chemical component, we described a facile one-step approach to construct large scale pinecone-like ...
متن کاملIn-air microfluidics enables rapid fabrication of emulsions, suspensions, and 3D modular (bio)materials
Microfluidic chips provide unparalleled control over droplets and jets, which have advanced all natural sciences. However, microfluidic applications could be vastly expanded by increasing the per-channel throughput and directly exploiting the output of chips for rapid additive manufacturing. We unlock these features with in-air microfluidics, a new chip-free platform to manipulate microscale li...
متن کاملFluorescent Contrast agent Based on Graphene Quantum Dots Decorated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Detecting and Sorting Cancer Cells
Background and Objectives: The inability of classic fluorescence-activated cell sorting to single cancer cell sorting is one of the most significant drawbacks of this method. The sorting of cancer cells in microdroplets significantly influences our ability to analyze cancer cell proteins. Material and Methods: We adapted a developed microfluidic device as a 3D in vitro model to sorted MCF-7 c...
