Single-layer planar on-chip flow cytometer using microfluidic drifting based three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing.
In this work, we demonstrate an on-chip microfluidic flow cytometry system based on a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing technique, microfluidic drifting. By inducing Dean flow in a curved microfluidic channel, microfluidic drifting can be used to hydrodynamically focus cells or particles in the vertical direction and enables the 3D hydrodynamic focusing in a single-layer planar micro...

Flow cytometry is a technique capable of optically characterizing biological particles in a high-throughput manner. In flow cytometry, three dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing is critical for accurate and consistent measurements. Due to the advantages of microfluidic techniques, a number of microfluidic flow cytometers with 3D hydrodynamic focusing have been developed in recent decades. How...
متن کاملThree-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing with a single sheath flow in a single-layer microfluidic device.
We report a contraction-expansion array (CEA) microchannel that allows three-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing with a single sheath flow in a single-layer device. The CEA microchannel exploits centrifugal forces acting on fluids travelling along the contraction and expansion regions of the microchannel. Around an entrance of the contraction region, the centrifugal forces induce a secondary flow...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Hydrodynamic Focusing over a Wide Reynolds Number Range Using a Two-layer Microfluidic Design
In this paper, we describe a microfluidic device with a novel two-layer microchannel structure to enable three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing. Numerical results indicate that the device works reliably over a wide range of Reynolds numbers (Re). These results are confirmed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The structure can be easily experimentally integrated into microfluidic sy...
