This work reports a new approach called optically-induced cell fusion (OICF) which integrates cell-pairing microstructures and an optically-induced system to achieve cell fusion with high yields and efficiency. It is the first time in literature that cell-pairing SU8 microstructures were combined with optically-induced “virtual” electrodes to form the OICF system such that precise cell-pairing and...
We report a study on the minimum microfluidic channel dimension in which gallium-based liquid metal alloy can be filled. Based on the non-toxicity of gallium-based liquid metal, it was expected to be utilized in many applications. Specifically, in order to possess advantages of its liquid property, there are several efforts to use it in microfluidic-based applications. However, due to its high surface...
We report a method of substantially improving lyophobicity of a paper against gallium-based liquid, using hydrochloric acid (HCl) impregnation. We also report an extremely simple fabrication of microfluidic channels on a HCl-impregnated paper for gallium-based liquid metal, Galinstan®. Paper has many favorable properties in microfluidic applications, such as low cost, abundant supply, easy fabrication,...
This study presents a new magnetic bead-based microfluidic platform for genomic DNA (gDNA) extraction and rapid detection of genetic deletion from saliva samples by using micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS)-based technologies. With the incorporation of several microfluidic devices, a charge-switchable, magnetic bead was used to extract gDNA released from the buccal cells in the saliva samples...
