作者没有什么可透露的。

为了成功地利用微流控技术, 必须将反应量与生物科技合成和分析的要求相对应。在这里提出的驱动平台, 可以移动微流控液滴的磁力。通过将液滴与磁性疏壳封闭在反应平台的平面表面上, 可以在两个维度上自由地进行运动。因此, 在传统的微流控系统中, 采用具有复杂流量控制装置的预定义微流控通道系统来传递溶剂和样品。因此, 小型反应液滴的自动驱动是对已知的实验室芯片平台的显著简化?...

微型反应的技术应用主要是在预定义微通道芯片中进行的。这些系统在文献中得到广泛的建立和全面的描述 (特别是1,2,3)。在 2011年, 微流控技术的营业额在全球总计62亿欧元4。相比之下, 自由移动的微型反应堆舱室的使用以前只在有限的范围内进行过审查和出版。最常见的移动水下微滴的方法是润湿5。其他方法为下落在表面上是基于电场6, 磁力力量7或声学驱动8。由于其不利的表面体积比, 这些 droplet-based 微系统暴露在强烈的蒸发效应。因此, 下落运动通常建立作为液体 two-phase 系统, 其中上部阶段有一个高沸点保护水相从蒸发。然而, 这种方法有很大的风险, 污染的反应液滴不受控制的扩散。这是对上述系统的技术建立的一个重大障碍。
最近的工作涉及换药液固相转变。一种高效的方法是使用疏表面, 从而形成球形水滴。这个反应概念的引伸是使用微反应隔间与疏表面或壳, 例如可能包括聚四氟乙烯 (PTFE) 微粒9。他们的接触角度在表面上通常是在160范围内 (取决于表面粗糙度)。因此, 球形隔间提供了对表面运动的最小阻力, 同时提供了防止水蒸发的保护措施。
含微 PTFE 颗粒的水性水滴可以保持其球形形状, 直径可达2毫米左右。在更高的容量, 疏水壳通常不是完全地闭合的10。利用离子液体12, 对其它壳体材料的影响以及液体大理石在非极性溶剂中的应用范围进行了研究。为形成疏水性基于壳, 到目前为止微粒直径在大小的10毫微米-30 µm 被描述了11,14,16。新的研究表明, 疏水性纳米粒子作为壳体材料, 比微粒13的使用更为有效。第一个稳定性研究证实, 当粒子大小从 ca 减少时, 稳定性提高了.600 nm 到ca 100 nm。这可能是由于在水球体周围的密度更大的粒子分布15。
水的反应隔间的保护由疏水壳和他们的指定作为液体大理石在2001年首先被描述了由 Aussillous et al.和 Mahadevan et al.17,18. 从那以后, 这些定义的反应隔间的应用很少被描述。例如, 基于液体弹珠19的气体传感器和基于光学定性基础的水污染检测方法已被开发成20。作者区分了高反应率和低消耗化学物质的微反应系统的优势。最近的出版物涉及生产 pH 敏感的液体弹珠16或表示 "两面" 粒子与两种不同的功能涂层。例如, Bormashenko et al.可以合成一个微, 其外壳由聚四氟乙烯和半导体炭黑21组成。此外, 通过渗透气液界面24, 反应器能高效、方便地吸收外氧作为单体的合成 polyperoxides。在另一种方法中, 二氧化硅-基于液弹的壳体提供反应基板表面来调节经典的银镜反应26。亲水-核-疏水壳液滴的研究和开发目前存在的问题是粒度调整、单分散液滴的可再生生产、表面润湿性和第二次的效果亲水壳在微反应舱室22, 以及更好地控制液滴轨迹,例如用于开发连续 microPCR 系统4。
这些反应器的磁性驱动提供了相对地高运动范围的好处和一个好选择力量, 当工作在生物化学的系统时。在使用疏水磁铁矿粒子时, 它们既实现了磁力传递到反应器运动的功能, 也满足了疏水壳的作用。在 2006年, 莱曼et al.第一次被假定为液滴内磁性微粒的磁性运动。23和田et al.25, 谁使用手动移动永久磁铁作为执行器的一个单一的水滴的动员。另一种移动少量液体的方法是由赵et al.实现的, 后者使用疏水 Fe3O4粒子作为磁壳。磁性液体大理石的壳在下落的上部被打开了由垂直的反向磁场27。基于这一概念, 薛et al.能够开发出形成微的粒子, 其表面张力为20.1 达因 cm− 1 28。Lin et al.捏造了新的纤维素微/纳米分层球体与 superparamagnetism 和棉织, 提供了神的稳定性磁液滴运输和操作31。到目前为止, 这只是作为一个原理的研究, 而不是用于任何应用程序。液体弹珠的磁性和电控目前在第一种方法中进行。赵et al.在 2010年15和张et al. 2012 29中, 可以通过手动操作在核心壳液滴下的永磁体运动来进行液滴操作。Bormashenko et al.11通过接近钕磁铁, 实现了将铁磁性液体大理石的加速度提高到 25 cm s-1的速度。上述原则研究完全是由一个小型永磁体的手动运动进行的。作为下一步的发展步骤, 赵et al.最近能够通过改变永磁体的距离来估计磁性液体大理石运动所需的磁通密度30。对于与普通实验室芯片系统相媲美的反应控制, 提供自动控制离散液体 v 的方法似乎是不可避免的。olumes为了满足这一需要, 我们开发了一种新的基于变场梯度的控制系统, 以固定、移动和打开磁反应器。

The Visual Colorimetric Detection of Multi-nucleotide Polymorphisms on a Pneumatic Droplet Manipulation Platform

A simple and visual method to detect multi-nucleotide polymorphism (MNP) was performed on a pneumatic droplet manipulation platform on an open surface. This approach to colorimetric DNA detection was based on the hybridization-mediated growth of gold nanoparticle probes (AuNP probes). The growth size and configuration of the AuNP are dominated by the number of DNA samples hybridized with the probes. Based on the specific size- and shape-dependent optical properties of the nanoparticles, the number of mismatches in a sample DNA fragment to the probes is able to be discriminated. The tests were conducted via droplets containing reagents and DNA samples respectively, and were transported and mixed on the pneumatic platform with the controlled pneumatic suction of the flexible PDMS-based superhydrophobic membrane. Droplets can be delivered simultaneously and precisely on an open-surface on the proposed pneumatic platform that is highly biocompatible with no side effect of DNA samples inside the droplets. Combining the two proposed methods, the multi-nucleotide polymorphism can be detected at sight on the pneumatic droplet manipulation platform; no additional instrument is required. The procedure from installing the droplets on the platform to the final result takes less than 5 min, much less than with existing methods. Moreover, this combined MNP detection approach requires a sample volume of only 10 &#181;l in each operation, which is remarkably less than that of a macro system.

This work presents a simple and visual method to detect multi-nucleotide polymorphisms on a pneumatic droplet manipulation platform. With the proposed method, the entire experiment, including droplet manipulation and detection of multi-nucleotide polymorphisms, can be performed near 23 &#176;C without the aid of advanced instruments.

Picoinjection of Microfluidic Drops Without Metal Electrodes

Existing methods for picoinjecting reagents into microfluidic drops require metal electrodes integrated into the microfluidic chip. The integration of these electrodes adds cumbersome and error-prone steps to the device fabrication process. We have developed a technique that obviates the needs for metal electrodes during picoinjection. Instead, it uses the injection fluid itself as an electrode, since most biological reagents contain dissolved electrolytes and are conductive. By eliminating the electrodes, we reduce device fabrication time and complexity, and make the devices more robust. In addition, with our approach, the injection volume depends on the voltage applied to the picoinjection solution; this allows us to rapidly adjust the volume injected by modulating the applied voltage. We demonstrate that our technique is compatible with reagents incorporating common biological compounds, including buffers, enzymes, and nucleic acids.

We have developed a technique for picoinjecting microfluidic drops that does not require metal electrodes. As such, devices incorporating our technique are simpler to fabricate and to use.

Taking Advantage of Reduced Droplet-surface Interaction to Optimize Transport of Bioanalytes in Digital Microfluidics

Digital microfluidics (DMF), a technique for manipulation of droplets, is a promising alternative for the development of &#8220;lab-on-a-chip&#8221; platforms. Often, droplet motion relies on the wetting of a surface, directly associated with the application of an electric field; surface interactions, however, make motion dependent on droplet contents, limiting the breadth of applications of the technique.
Some alternatives have been presented to minimize this dependence. However, they rely on the addition of extra chemical species to the droplet or its surroundings, which could potentially interact with droplet moieties. Addressing this challenge, our group recently developed Field-DW devices to allow the transport of cells and proteins in DMF, without extra additives.
Here, the protocol for device fabrication and operation is provided, including the electronic interface for motion control. We also continue the studies with the devices, showing that multicellular, relatively large, model organisms can also be transported, arguably unaffected by the electric fields required for device operation.

The protocol for fabrication and operation of field dewetting devices (Field-DW) is described, as well as the preliminary studies of the effects of electric fields on droplet contents.

Capillary-based Centrifugal Microfluidic Device for Size-controllable Formation of Monodisperse Microdroplets

Here, we demonstrate a simple method for the rapid production of size-controllable, monodisperse, W/O microdroplets using a capillary-based centrifugal microfluidic device. W/O microdroplets have recently been used in powerful methods that enable miniaturized chemical experiments. Therefore, developing a versatile method to yield monodisperse W/O microdroplets is needed. We have developed a method for generating monodisperse W/O microdroplets based on a capillary-based centrifugal axisymmetric co-flowing microfluidic device. We succeeded in controlling the size of microdroplets by adjusting the capillary orifice. Our method requires equipment that is easier-to-use than with other microfluidic techniques, requires only a small volume (0.1-1 &#181;l) of sample solution for encapsulation, and enables the production of hundreds of thousands number of W/O microdroplets per second. We expect this method will assist biological studies that require precious biological samples by conserving the volume of the samples for rapid quantitative analysis biochemical and biological studies.

Here, we demonstrate a simple production method for size-controllable, monodisperse, water-in-oil (W/O) microdroplets using a capillary-based centrifugal microfluidic device. This method requires only a small sample volume and enables high-yield production. We expect this method will be useful for rapid biochemical and cellular analyses.

Microfluidic Preparation of Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Actuators

This paper focuses on the microfluidic process (and its parameters) to prepare actuating particles from liquid crystalline elastomers. The preparation usually consists in the formation of droplets containing low molar mass liquid crystals at elevated temperatures. Subsequently, these particle precursors are oriented in the flow field of the capillary and solidified by a crosslinking polymerization, which produces the final actuating particles. The optimization of the process is necessary to obtain the actuating particles and the proper variation of the process parameters (temperature and flow rate) and allows variations of size and shape (from oblate to strongly prolate morphologies) as well as the magnitude of actuation. In addition, it is possible to vary the type of actuation from elongation to contraction depending on the director profile induced to the droplets during the flow in the capillary, which again depends on the microfluidic process and its parameters. Furthermore, particles of more complex shapes, like core-shell structures or Janus particles, can be prepared by adjusting the setup. By the variation of the chemical structure and the mode of crosslinking (solidification) of the liquid crystalline elastomer, it is also possible to prepare actuating particles triggered by heat or UV-vis irradiation.

This article describes the microfluidic process and parameters to prepare actuating particles from liquid crystalline elastomers. This process allows the preparation of actuating particles and the variation of their size and shape (from oblate to strongly prolate, core-shell, and Janus morphologies) as well as the magnitude of actuation.

A Femtoliter Droplet Array for Massively Parallel Protein Synthesis from Single DNA Molecules

Advances in spatial resolution and detection sensitivity of scientific instrumentation make it possible to apply small reactors for biological and chemical research. To meet the demand for high-performance microreactors, we developed a femtoliter droplet array (FemDA) device and exemplified its application in massively parallel cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) reactions. Over one million uniform droplets were readily generated within a finger-sized area using a two-step oil-sealing protocol. Every droplet was anchored in a femtoliter microchamber composed of a hydrophilic bottom and a hydrophobic sidewall. The hybrid hydrophilic-in-hydrophobic structure and the dedicated sealing oils and surfactants are crucial for stably retaining the femtoliter aqueous solution in the femtoliter space without evaporation loss. The femtoliter configuration and the simple structure of the FemDA device allowed minimal reagent consumption. The uniform dimension of the droplet reactors made large-scale quantitative and time-course measurements convincing and reliable. The FemDA technology correlated the protein yield of the CFPS reaction with the number of DNA molecules in each droplet. We streamlined the procedures about the microfabrication of the device, the formation of the femtoliter droplets, and the acquisition and analysis of the microscopic image data. The detailed protocol with the optimized low running cost makes the FemDA technology accessible to everyone who has standard cleanroom facilities and a conventional fluorescence microscope in their own place.

The overall goal of the protocol is to prepare over one million ordered, uniform, stable, and biocompatible femtoliter droplets on a 1 cm2 planar substrate that can be used for cell-free protein synthesis.

Glass-Based Devices to Generate Drops and Emulsions

In this manuscript, three different step-by-step protocols to generate highly monodisperse emulsion drops using glass-based microfluidics are described. The first device is built for the generation of simple drops driven by gravity. The second device is designed to generate emulsion drops in a coflowing scheme. The third device is an extension of the coflowing device with the addition of a third liquid that acts as an electric ground, allowing the formation of electrified drops that subsequently discharge. In this setup, two of the three liquids have an appreciable electrical conductivity. The third liquid mediates between these two and is a dielectric. A&#160;voltage difference applied between the two conducting liquids creates an electric field that couples with hydrodynamic stresses of the coflowing liquids, affecting the jet and drop formation process. The addition of the electric field provides a path to generate smaller drops than in simple coflow devices and for generating particles and fibers with a wide range of sizes.

Here, a protocol to manufacture glass-based microfluidic devices used for generating highly monodisperse emulsions with controlled drop size is presented.

Electrowetting-based Digital Microfluidics Platform for Automated Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay

Electrowetting is the effect by which the contact angle of a droplet exposed to a surface charge is modified. Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) exploits the dielectric properties of thin insulator films to enhance the charge density and hence boost the electrowetting effect. The presence of charges results in an electrically induced spreading of the droplet which permits purposeful manipulation across a hydrophobic surface. Here, we demonstrate EWOD-based protocol for sample processing and detection of four categories of antigens, using an automated surface actuation platform, via two variations of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methods. The ELISA is performed on magnetic beads with immobilized primary antibodies which can be selected to target a specific antigen. An antibody conjugated to HRP binds to the antigen and is mixed with H2O2/Luminol for quantification of the captured pathogens. Assay completion times of between 6 and 10 min were achieved, whilst minuscule volumes of reagents were utilized.

Electrowetting-based digital microfluidic is a technique that utilizes a voltage-driven change in the apparent contact angle of a microliter-volume droplet to facilitate its manipulation. Combining this with functionalized magnetic beads enables the integration of multiple laboratory unit operations for sample preparation and identification of pathogens using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

Bilayer Microfluidic Device for Combinatorial Plug Production

Droplet microfluidics is a versatile tool that allows the execution of a large number of reactions in chemically distinct nanoliter compartments. Such systems have been used to encapsulate a variety of biochemical reactions - from incubation of single cells to implementation of PCR reactions, from genomics to chemical synthesis. Coupling the microfluidic channels with regulatory valves allows control over their opening and closing, thereby enabling the rapid production of large-scale combinatorial libraries consisting of a population of droplets with unique compositions. In this paper, protocols for the fabrication and operation of a pressure-driven, PDMS-based bilayer microfluidic device that can be utilized to generate combinatorial libraries of water-in-oil emulsions called plugs are presented. By incorporating software programs and microfluidic hardware, the flow of desired fluids in the device can be controlled and manipulated to generate combinatorial plug libraries and to control the composition and quantity of constituent plug populations. These protocols will expedite the process of generating combinatorial screens, particularly to study drug response in cells from cancer patient biopsies.
