A Triplet Parallelizing Spiral Microfluidic Chip for Continuous Separation of Tumor Cells
2018
Overview
Inertial and deformability- based particles separations gradually attract more significant attentions. In this work, we present a hybrid chip by combining the advantages of inertial and deformability –based principle. The chip is a triplet parallelizing spiral inertial microfluidic chip interconnected with numerable tilted slits (Spiral-Slits Chip) for continuous separation of circulating tumor cells. Utilizing the inertial lift and viscous drag forces, different sized particles achieve different equilibrium at distinct streamlines of the spiral microchannel. Numerable tilted slits are organized along the flow direction. They frequently transport segregated streamline particles into a paralleled smaller microchannel. These frequent dragging results in the amount of certain sized particles in the original microchannel gradually and dramatically reduced. Inertial separation of distinct sized particles could be achievable. Two arrays of numerable tilted slits function as bridges. This Spiral-Slits Chip could substitute for Red Blood Cells Lysis (RBCL) and is most effective for ultra-high throughput. The overall arrangement of this triplet parallelizing spiral inertial microfluidic reflects stable streamlines distribution in the first main microchannel. Combining with Ellipse filters, robust and reproducible capture of CTCs could be achieved at high flow rates. Optical absorption detection has been tentatively tested, and this could simplify the process.
