Selective Retrieval of Individual Cells from Microfluidic Arrays Combining Dielectrophoretic Force and Directed Hydrodynamic Flow

Gabriele Gambardella, Bart Deplancke, Carlotta Guiducci, Jörn Pezoldt, Kevin Keim, Pierre-Emmanuel Marie Thiriet

Hydrodynamic-based microfluidic platforms enable single-cell arraying and analysis over time. Despite the advantages of established microfluidic systems, long-term analysis and proliferation of cells selected in such devices require off-chip recovery of ce ...

In-flow measurement of cell-cell adhesion using oscillatory inertial microfluidics

Kevin Keim

Multicellular clusters in circulation can exhibit a substantially different function and biomarker significance compared to individual cells. Notably, clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are much more effective initiators of metastasis than single C ...

Active Posts in Deterministic Lateral Displacement Devices

Carlotta Guiducci, Kevin Keim

Using electrically connected metal-coated posts in a deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) device and applying electric fields, electrokinetics is used to tune separations, significantly decrease the critical size for separation, and increase the dynami ...
