Separation of Neural Cells Using Two-step Separation by Combination of Soft Inertial Microfluidics and Pinched Flow Fractionation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, neural cell sorting of high throughput and high purity is made using two-step separation by combining soft inertial microfluidics and pinched flow fractionation. Both finite element analysis tool and equivalent electric circuits modeling were used to design the microfluidic devices. Separation between neurons and glia cells from rat’s spine cord was demonstrated. To minimize the environmental changes, the aqueous cell culture medium L15 was used in all flow streams.

Pinched flow coupled shear-modulated inertial microfluidics for high-throughput rare blood cell separation.
Blood is a highly complex bio-fluid with cellular components making up >40% of the total volume, thus making its analysis challenging and time-consuming. In this work, we introduce a high-throughput size-based separation method for processing diluted blood using inertial microfluidics. The technique takes advantage of the preferential cell focusing in high aspect-ratio microchannels coupled wit...
متن کاملSeparation of cancer cells from white blood cells by pinched flow fractionation.
In this paper, the microfluidic size-separation technique pinched flow fractionation (PFF) is used to separate cancer cells from white blood cells (WBCs). The cells are separated at efficiencies above 90% for both cell types. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are found in the blood of cancer patients and can form new tumors. CTCs are rare cells in blood, but they are important for the understandin...
متن کاملSeparation of Spermatozoa with a Combination of Pinched Flow Fractionation and Tangential Filtration
We demonstrate a pinched flow tangential filtration method to sort spermatozoa from larger particles with a spermatozoa collection efficiency of 94±2% and a separation efficiency of 100%. In conventional pinched flow fractionation (PFF), an observed tumbling-like rotation of spermatozoa complicates their separation from other particles. The new design circumvents this effect.
متن کاملIB-LBM study on cell sorting by pinched flow fractionation.
Separation of two categories of cells in pinched flow fractionation(PFF) device is simulated by employing IB-LBM. The separation performances at low Reynolds number (about 1) under different pinched segment widths, flow ratios, cell features, and distances between neighboring cells are studied and the results are compared with those predicted by the empirical formula. The simulation indicates t...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Device for Continuous Particle Separation Using Hydrodynamic Filtration
A size-dependent particle separation (classification) is one of the most important procedures in biochemical, environmental, or medical analyses and their applications. However, the smaller particle size or the smaller size difference makes the particle classification difficult. The Lab-on-a-Chip concept have encouraged the miniaturization of various separation or selection methods for small pa...
