Efficient capture data on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) determines early-stage cancer diagnosis and contributes to timely clinical treatment. We present an enhanced method of capturing CTCs accomplished by a microfluidic device integrated with magnetic field to activate the kinetic motion of in-device magnetic beads. The device, consisting of a microfluidic chamber and two electrode chips applied with pulsatile alternating current in both, is designed based on simulations on the periodicity characteristic of magnetic beads as well as the effect of heat dissipation on cell culture medium manifest. Using MEMS technologies, the prototype is fabricated and assembled. The cell capture experiments based on active magnetic beads are achieved in separation of rare cancer cells (MCF7 cells) with low concentration. The capture rate is estimated up to 88 %, with great potential of dramatically improving detection efficiency in disease diagnostics. 相似文献

A chaotic mixer for magnetic bead-based micro cell sorter 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
An efficient magnetic force driven mixer with simple configuration is designed, fabricated, and tested. It is designed to facilitate the mixing of magnetic beads and biomolecules in a microchannel, where mixing is unavoidably inefficient due to its low Reynolds number. With appropriate temporal variations of the force field, chaotic mixing is achieved, hence the mixing becomes effective. The mixing device consists of embedded microconductors as a magnetic field source and a microchannel that guides the streams of working fluid. It is demonstrated that a pair of integrated micro conductors provides a local magnetic field strong enough to attract nearby magnetic beads. Mixing of magnetic beads is accomplished by applying a time-dependent control signal to a row of conductors, at the Reynolds number of as low as 10/sup -2/. Two-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed to design the configuration of the channel and electrodes, which creates chaotic motion of beads. It is found that a simple two-dimensional serpentine channel geometry with the transverse electrodes is able to create the stretching and folding of material lines, which is a manifestation of chaos. The mixing pattern predicted by the simulation has been confirmed by both flow visualization and PTV (particle tracking velocimetry) in the chaotic mixer fabricated, which should greatly increase the attachment of beads onto the target biomolecules. The optimum frequency of applied control signal is searched by evaluating the Lyapunov exponent in both numerical and experimental particle tracking. It is found that the range of optimum Strouhal number is 5相似文献

A rapid magnetic particle driven micromixer 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Performances of a magnetic particle driven micromixer are predicted numerically. This micromixer takes advantages of mixing
enhancements induced by alternating actuation of magnetic particles suspended in the fluid. Effects of magnetic actuation
force, switching frequency and channel’s lateral dimension have been investigated. Numerical results show that the magnetic
particle actuation at an appropriate frequency causes effective mixing and the optimum switching frequency depends on the
channel’s lateral dimension and the applied magnetic force. The maximum efficiency is obtained at a relatively high operating
frequency for large magnetic actuation forces and narrow microchannels. If the magnetic particles are actuated with a much
higher or lower frequency than the optimum switching frequency, they tend to add limited agitation to the fluid flow and do
not enhance the mixing significantly. The optimum switching frequency obtained from the present numerical prediction is in
good agreement with the theoretical analysis. The proposed mixing scheme not only provides an excellent mixing, even in simple
microchannel, but also can be easily applied to lab-on-a-chip applications with a pair of external electromagnets. 相似文献

The application of magnetic fields in microfluidics is of growing interest and the localisation of the applied field emerges
as a key requisite for future integration with other micro-platforms. In this paper, we present a novel strategy of fabrication
of an integrated microchannel, which combines the advantages of localisation of the magnetic field with simplicity of design
and fabrication. The circuit is fabricated in one single step using a copper plate dedicated to microelectronics. We determine
the magnetic field inside the microchannel by numerical simulations computed for this novel design. Magnetic beads in the
microchannel are driven into movement by a magnetic force in the range of a few picoNewtons. We have checked that the magnetic
force is well localised by following bead trajectories when they approach the magnetic area. Moreover, as a proof of concept,
quantitative magnetic cell sorting was successfully performed in the microchannel. 相似文献

High-throughput micromixers based on acoustic streaming induced by surface acoustic wave 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Flow characteristics in microfluidic devices is naturally laminar due to the small channel dimensions. Mixing based on molecular
diffusion is generally poor. In this article, we report the fabrication and characterization of active surface-acousticwave-driven
micromixers which exploit the acoustic streaming effect to significantly improve the mixing efficiency. A side-by-side flow
of water and fluorescent dye solution was driven by a syringe pump. Surface wave with a frequency of 13 MHz was launched perpendicular
to the flow. The wave was generated by two designs of interdigitated electrodes on LiNbO3 substrate: parallel electrodes and focusing electrodes. The mixing efficiency was observed to be proportional to the square
of the applied voltage. Under the same applied voltage, the focusing type offers a better mixing efficiency. The fabrication
of the micromixer is compatible to current technology such as soft lithography and deep reactive ion etching. Despite the
high throughput and fast mixing time, the mixer design is simple and could be integrated into any microfluidic platform. 相似文献

In magnetophoresis-based microfluidic systems, the free-flow sorting is achieved by incrementally navigating the magnetic target toward a designated outlet. This is typically enabled using high-gradient magnetic concentrators (HGMCs), axially aligned or slightly slanted with the streaming sample flow. Such axial and incremental magnetic manipulation critically constraints the throughput and the number of targets that can be sorted simultaneously. To overcome these constraints, we present an alternative repulsion-based sorting method. The repulsion force is due that induced, over a limited angular expanse, around a single ferromagnetic wire. The wire is positioned transversally against the focused sample flow. Differentially repelled by the repulsive force, each target deflects from its focused path to follow a ribbon-like trajectory that leads to a spatially addressable outlet. The mediated sorting takes place more rapidly and is confined to the region facing the transversal wire. More importantly, the introduced concept design allows for a throughput that is geometrically scalable with the length of the wire. The functionality of the systems is demonstrated experimentally and numerically to yield the simultaneous and complete multi-target sorting of two and more magnetic beads. 相似文献

This paper introduces a simple method for trapping and releasing single particles, such as microbeads and living cells, using dual-function elastomeric valves. Our key technique is the utilization of the elastomeric valve as a dual-function removable trap instead of a fixed trap and a separate component for releasing trapped particles, thereby enabling a simple yet effective trap-and-release of particles. We designed, fabricated, and characterized a microfluidic-based device for trapping and releasing single beads by controlling elastomeric valves driven by pneumatic pressure and a fluid flow action. The fluid flow is controlled to ensure that beads flowing in a main stream enter into a branch channel. A bead is trapped by deflected elastomeric valves positioned at the entrance of a branch channel. The trapped bead is easily released by removing the applied pressure. The trapping and releasing of single beads of 21?μm in diameter were successfully performed under an optimized pressure and flow rate ratio. Moreover, we confirmed that continuous trapping and releasing of single beads by repeatedly switching elastomeric valves enables the collection of a controllable number of beads. Our simple method can be integrated into microfluidic systems that require single or multiple particle arrays for quantitative and high-throughput assays in applications within the fields of biology and chemistry. 相似文献

We have developed and characterized two novel micro flow sensors based on measuring the electrical impedance of the interface between the flowing liquid and metallic electrodes embedded on the channel walls. These flow sensors are very simple to fabricate and use, are extremely compact and can easily be integrated into most microfluidic systems. One of these devices is a micropore with two tantalum/platinum electrodes on its edges; the other is a micro channel with two tantalum/platinum electrodes placed perpendicular to the channel on its walls. In both sensors the flow rate is measured via the electrical impedance between the two metallic electrodes, which is the impedance of two metal–liquid junctions in series. The dependency of the metal–liquid junction impedance on the flow rate of the liquid has been studied. The effects of different parameters on the sensor’s outputs and its noise behavior are investigated. Design guidelines are extracted and applied to achieve highly sensitive micro flow sensors with low noise. 相似文献

We report a novel concept to control the interface location of a pressure-driven multi-phase flow in a microchannel by using electroosmotic flow effects. This concept has potential applications in flow switching and cell sorting in bio-analytical systems. In an H-shaped microchannel structure, aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) solution and glycerol diluted with water were pumped through two inlets at the same flow rate. The electric field was applied on the electrolyte solution side. Adjusting the magnitude and direction of electric field has successfully controlled the interface position between the two phases. This technique provides a new approach to control the interface position between the two fluids. 相似文献

A PMMA valveless micropump using electromagnetic actuation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have fabricated and characterized a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) valveless micropump. The pump consists of two diffuser elements and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane with an integrated composite magnet made of NdFeB magnetic powder. A large-stroke membrane deflection (~200 m) is obtained using external actuation by an electromagnet. We present a detailed analysis of the magnetic actuation force and the flow rate of the micropump. Water is pumped at flow rates of up to 400 µl/min and backpressures of up to 12 mbar. We study the frequency-dependent flow rate and determine a resonance frequency of 12 and 200 Hz for pumping of water and air, respectively. Our experiments show that the models for valveless micropumps of A. Olsson et al. (J Micromech Microeng 9:34, 1999) and L.S. Pan et al. (J Micromech Microeng 13:390, 2003) correctly predict the resonance frequency, although additional modeling of losses is necessary. 相似文献

This paper reported a transparent, high-precision 3D-printed microfluidic device integrated with magnet array for magnetic manipulation. A reserved groove in the device can well constrain the Halbach array or conventional alternating array. Numerical simulations and experimental data indicate that the magnetic flux density ranges from 30 to 400 mT and its gradient is about 0.2–0.4 T/m in the manipulation channel. The magnetic field parameters of Halbach array in the same location are better than the other array. Diamagnetic polystyrene beads experience a repulsive force and move away from the magnetic field source under the effect of negative magnetophoresis. It is undeniable that as the flow rate increases, the ability of Halbach array to screen particle sizes decreases. Even so, it has a good particle size discrimination at a volumetric flow rate of 1.08 mL/h, which is much larger than that of a conventional PDMS device with a single magnet. The observed particle trajectories also confirm these statements. The deflection angle is related to the magnetic field, flow rate, and particle size. This 3D-printed device integrated with Halbach array offers excellent magnetic manipulation performance. 相似文献

In continuous magnetic separation process, particles can be deflected and separated from the direction of laminar flow by means of magnetic force depending on their magnetic susceptibility and size as well as the flow rate. To analyze and control dynamic behavior of these particles flowing in microchannels, a three-dimensional numerical model was proposed and solved for obtaining the particle trajectories under the action of a gradient magnetic field and flow field. The magnetic force distribution and particle trajectories obtained were firstly verified by analytical and experimental results. Then, a detailed analysis for the enhancement of the continuous magnetic separation efficiency by optimizing the flow parameters and microchannel configurations was carried out. The results show that the separation efficiency can be greatly improved by controlling the flow rate ratio of the two fluid streams and introducing a broadened segment in the T-shaped microchannel. And it has been demonstrated to be effective through the sorting of 2-μm and 5-μm non-magnetic particles suspended in a dilute ferrofluid by a permanent magnet. The results reported could be encouraging for the design and optimization of efficient microfluidic separation systems. 相似文献

We present a novel integrated microfluidic platform based on micro-magnetic sensor for manipulating and detecting magnetic beads (MB). A micro-spiral planar coil in MB manipulating system microfabricated by micro-electro-mechanical system technology is implemented to manipulate MB, and a giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) based micro-magnetic sensor is employed to detect the trapped MB. In our work, MB can be efficiently trapped by trapping force generated from micro-coil in microchannel. Next, trapped MB are detected by the changing ratio of impedance, as well as the variation of resistance and reactance in GMI sensor for trapped MB induce weak stray magnetic field under the magnetization by external magnetic field. The maximum difference of GMI ratio between with beads condition and without beads condition is 4.0% at the optimum driving frequency of 20 MHz under the external magnetic field of 15 Oe, and resistance ratio varies more significantly than reactance ratio. In comparison with traditional MB detecting methods by GMI sensor, the integrated microfluidic platform based on GMI sensor can not only manipulate and detect MB signal sensitively, but also enhance detection efficiency and decrease the experiment errors. Furthermore, this platform avoids contamination from the solutions in chemically reactive layers and reduces assay time in future biomarker detection. In our work, the microfluidic platform based on GMI sensor has potential applications in biomarker detection via MB manipulation and detection. 相似文献
