Microfluidic based single cell microinjection.

چکیده
We report a microfluidic based approach for single cell microinjection in which fluid streams direct a cell onto a fixed microneedle in contrast to moving a microneedle towards an immobilized cell, as done in conventional methods. The approach simplifies microinjection and offers the potential for flow through automated microinjection of cells.

Fluorescent 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...
متن کاملImproved Methods of Microinjection in Caenorhabditis elegans: Automation and Microfluidic Systems
C. elegans has become a versatile model organism because of various advantages, such as being a small-sized non-parasitic worm with a transparent body and a short life cycle, along with the capacity to conduct in vivo live worm imaging, genetic amenability and cost-effective laboratory maintenance. It has also gained popularity because of the mapping of the developmental fate of every single ce...
متن کاملA continuous tilting of micromolds for fabricating polymeric microstructures in microinjection.
We demonstrate a practical design and integration of multidirectional tilted UV lithography and microinjection molding for microstructure-based microfluidic devices. The previously reported undercut (or T-profile) problem of photoresist causes the imperfect mirror image duplication of the microstructures to the Ni mold. This issue inevitably leads to the unstable molds in the production of micr...
متن کاملEditorial for the Special Issue on Microdevices and Microsystems for Cell Manipulation
Microfabricated devices and systems capable of micromanipulation are well-suited for the manipulation of cells. These technologies are capable of a variety of functions, including cell trapping, cell sorting, cell surgery, and cell culturing, often at single-cell or sub-cellular resolution. The functionalities enabled by these microdevices and microsystems are relevant to many areas of biomedic...
