Method Of Pumping Fluid Through A Microfluidic Device

View page
US Patent:
8053249, Nov 8, 2011
Filed:
Mar 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/684949
Inventors:
David J. Beebe - Monona WI, US
Jay W. Warrick - Madison WI, US
Michael W. Toepke - Madison WI, US
Ivar Meyvantsson - Madison WI, US
Glenn M. Walker - Cary NC, US
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
G01N 1/10
G01N 1/00
US Classification:
436180, 422 50, 422 681, 436 43, 436 52, 436 53, 137 8, 137 9, 137 12, 137 14
Abstract:
A method is provided for pumping fluid through a channel of a microfluidic device. The channel has an input port and an output port. The channel is filled with fluid and a pressure gradient is generated between the fluid at the input port and the fluid at the output port. As a result, fluid flows through the channel towards the output port.

Method For Controlling Communication Between Multiple Access Ports In A Microfluidic Device

View page
US Patent:
8211709, Jul 3, 2012
Filed:
Aug 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/843291
Inventors:
David J. Beebe - Monona WI, US
Ivar Meyvantsson - Madison WI, US
Jay W. Warwick - Madison WI, US
Michael Toepke - Normal IL, US
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
436180, 422504, 422507
Abstract:
A method is provided of controlling communication between multiple ports in a microfluidic device. The method includes the step of providing a channel network in a microfluidic device. The channel network including a first channel having a first input port and an output port. The first channel is filled with a fluid and a first output droplet is deposited on the output port. The first output droplet has a radius of curvature. The first output droplet flows toward the first input port in response to placement of a first input droplet having a radius of curvature greater than the radius of curvature of the first output droplet on the first input port. The first input droplet flows toward the output port in response to the first input droplet having a radius of curvature less than the radius of curvature of first output droplet.

Method For Robust Control Over A Soluable Factor Microenvironment Within A Three-Dimensional Gel Matrix

View page
US Patent:
20100025243, Feb 4, 2010
Filed:
Aug 1, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/184408
Inventors:
David J. Beebe - Monona WI, US
Vinay V. Abhyankar - Dublin CA, US
Michael W. Toepke - Normal IL, US
International Classification:
B01D 57/02
US Classification:
204455
Abstract:
A method is provided of generating a gradient within gel matrix received in a channel of a microfluidic device. A source reservoir in communication with the input of the channel is filled with a first fluid. A sink reservoir in communication with the output of the channel is filled with a second fluid. A soluble factor is deposited in the source reservoir such that the soluble factor diffuses into the channel and forms the gradient. The soluble factor in source reservoir is replenished to maintain the gradient in a generally pseudo-steady state and the second fluid in the sink reservoir is replaced.

David J. Beebe - Monona WI, US
Jay W. Warrick - Madison WI, US
Michael W. Toepke - Madison WI, US
Ivar Meyvantsson - Madison WI, US
Glenn M. Walker - Cary NC, US
International Classification:
F04B 23/00
US Classification:
417 53
Abstract:
A method is provided for pumping fluid through a channel of a microfluidic device. The channel has an input port and an output port. The channel is filled with fluid and a pressure gradient is generated between the fluid at the input port and the fluid at the output port. As a result, fluid flows through the channel towards the output port.

Hydrogel Microspheres Containing Peptide Ligands For Growth Factor Regulation In Blood Products

View page
US Patent:
20170266318, Sep 21, 2017
Filed:
Mar 18, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/074493
Inventors:
- Madison WI, US
Ngoc Nhi Le - Norcross GA, US
Michael W. Toepke - Midland MI, US
Nicholas Impellitteri - Madison WI, US
Connie Sue Chamberlain - Monona WI, US
William Leo Murphy - Waunakee WI, US
International Classification:
A61K 47/48
A61K 38/17
Abstract:
Vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF-sequestering hydrogel microspheres that have been prepared to selectively bind VEGF from blood products are disclosed herein. In one particular embodiment, the microspheres bind VEGF as part of an intra-operative process such that the growth factor can be removed from the blood products before the products are used in a clinical procedure.

Purification Of Chlorosilanes Using Chromatography

View page
US Patent:
20150141688, May 21, 2015
Filed:
May 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/400575
Inventors:
- Midland MI, US
Michael W. Toepke - Midland MI, US
Assignee:
Dow Corning Corporation - Midland MI
International Classification:
C07F 7/20
B01D 15/32
B01D 15/18
US Classification:
556466
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for separating organohalosilanes. The method includes introducing a mixture including at least a first organohalosilane and a second organohalosilane onto a chromatographic bed including a stationary phase. The method also includes passing a liquid mobile phase through the chromatographic bed to produce an eluate including at least one fraction enriched in the first organohalosilane and at least one fraction enriched in the second organohalosilane.
