Magnetically Controlled Valve For Flow Manipulation In Polymer Microfluidic Devices

View page
US Patent:
20080163946, Jul 10, 2008
Filed:
Dec 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/966958
Inventors:
Frank A. Gomez - Montebello CA, US
Attila Gaspar - Debrecen, HU
Menake E. Piyasena - Silver Spring MD, US
Assignee:
The Trustees of California State University - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
F16K 15/14
F16K 31/06
US Classification:
137843, 25112901
Abstract:
A simple, external in-line valve for use in microfluidic devices constructed of elastomer such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is described. The actuation of the valve is based on the principle that flexible polymer walls of a liquid channel can be pressed together by the aid of a permanent magnet and a small metal bar. In the presence of a small NdFeB magnet lying below the channel of interest, the metal bar is pulled downward simultaneously pushing the thin layer of PDMS down thereby closing the channel stopping any flow of fluid. The operation of the valve is dependent on the thickness of the PDMS layer, the height of the channel, the gap between the chip and the magnet and the strength of the magnet. The microfluidic channels are completely closed to fluid flows commonly used in microfluidic applications. The valve allows for fabrication of a “thin chip” that allows for detection of chromophoric species within the microchannel via an external fiber optics detection system. C18-Modified reverse phase silica particles are packed into the microchannel using a temporary taper created by the magnetic valve and separations using both pressure and electrochromatographic driven methods is detailed.

Multinode Acoustic Focusing For Parallel Flow Cytometry Analysis Applications

View page
US Patent:
20140336062, Nov 13, 2014
Filed:
Jul 24, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/339820
Inventors:
Steven W. Graves - Santa Fe NM, US
Gabriel P. Lopez - Durham NC, US
Menake Eranda Piyasena - Albuquerque NM, US
Assignee:
STC.UNM - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01N 15/14
US Classification:
506 7, 506 39, 73 6175
Abstract:
An analytical device such as a flow cytometer is provided in which a fluid sample flowing through a channel is focused into multiple, parallel particle streams by an acoustic wave field extending across the channel. Each stream is then presented to an individual detector to allow for simultaneous interrogation of the multiple streams and thus, high-throughput analysis of the fluid sample.
