We present a simple technique for creating an on-chip magnetic particle conveyor based on exchange-biased permalloy microstripes. The particle transportation relies on an array of stripes with a spacing smaller than their width in conjunction with a periodic sequence of four different externally applied magnetic fields. We demonstrate the controlled transportation of a large population of particles over several millimeters of distance as well as the spatial separation of two populations of magnetic particles with different magnetophoretic mobilities. The technique can be used for the controlled selective manipulation and separation of magnetically labelled species. 相似文献

BackgroundSuper-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) contain a chemotherapeutic drug and are regarded as a promising technique for improving targeted delivery into cancer cells.ResultsIn this study, the fabrication of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was investigated with loaded Dextran (DEX-SPION) using the co-precipitation technique and conjugated by folate (FA). These nanoparticles (NPs) were employed as carriers and anticancer compounds against liver cancer cells in vitro. Structural, magnetic, morphological characterization, size, and drug loading activities of the obtained FA-DEX-5-FU-SPION NPs were checked using FTIR, VSM, FESEM, TEM, DLS, and zeta potential techniques. The cellular toxicity effect of FA-DEX-5-FU-SPION NPs was evaluated using the MTT test on liver cancer (SNU-423) and healthy cells (LO2). Furthermore, the apoptosis measurement and the expression levels of NF-1, Her-2/neu, c-Raf-1, and Wnt-1 genes were evaluated post-treatment using flow cytometry and RT-PCR, respectively. The obtained NPs were spherical with a suitable dispersity without noticeable aggregation. The size of the NPs, polydispersity, and zeta were 74 ± 13 nm, 0.080 and −45 mV, respectively. The results of the encapsulation efficiency of the nano-compound showed highly colloidal stability and proper drug maintenance. The results indicated that FA-DEX-5-FU-SPION demonstrated a sustained release profile of 5-FU in both phosphate and citrate buffer solutions separately, with higher cytotoxicity against SNU-423 cells than against other cells types. These findings suggest that FA-DEX-SPION NPs exert synergistic effects for targeting intracellular delivery of 5-FU, apoptosis induction, and gene expression stimulation.ConclusionsThe findings proved that FA-DEX-5-FU-SPION presented remarkable antitumor properties; no adverse subsequences were revealed against normal cells.How to cite: Mahdia SA, Kadhimb AA, Albukhaty S, et al.

We present a simple microchip device consisting of an overlaid pattern of micromagnets and microwells capable of capturing magnetically labeled cells into well-defined compartments (with accuracies >95%). Its flexible design permits the programmable deposition of single cells for their direct enumeration and pairs of cells for the detailed analysis of cell-cell interactions. This cell arraying device requires no external power and can be operated solely with permanent magnets. Large scale image analysis of cells captured in this array can yield valuable information (e.g., regarding various immune parameters such as the CD4:CD8 ratio) in a miniaturized and portable platform.The emergent need for point-of-care devices has spurred development of simplified platforms to organize cells across well-defined templates.1 These devices employ passive microwells, immunospecific adhesive islands, and electric, optical, and acoustic traps to manipulate cells.2–6 In contrast, magnetic templating can control the spatial organization of cells through its ability to readily program ferromagnetic memory states.7 While it has been applied to control the deposition of magnetic beads,8–13 it has not been used to direct the deposition of heterogeneous cell pairs, which may help provide critical insight into the function of single cells.14,15 As such, we developed a simple magnetographic device capable of arraying single cells and pairs of cells with high fidelity. We show this magnetic templating tool can use immunospecific magnetic labels for both the isolation of cells from blood and their organization into spatially defined wells.We used standard photolithographic techniques to fabricate the microchips (see supplementary material16). Briefly, an array of 10 × 30 μm cobalt micromagnets were patterned by a photolithographic liftoff process and overlaid with a pattern of dumbbell-shaped microwells formed in SU-8 photoresist (Fig. 1(a)). The micromagnets were designed to produce a predominantly vertical field in the microwells by aligning the ends of the micromagnet at the center of each well of the dumbbell. These features were deposited across an area of ≈400 mm2 (>50 000 well pairs per microchip) (Fig. 1(b)). Depending on the programmed magnetization state with respect to the external field, magnetic beads or cells were attracted to one pole and repelled by the other pole of each micromagnet, leading to a biased deposition (Fig. 1(c)).12Open in a separate windowFIG. 1.Magnetographic array for single cell analysis. (a) SEM image of the dumbbell-shaped well pairs for capturing magnetically labelled cells. (b) Photograph of the finished device. (c) An array of well pairs displaying a pitch of 60 × 120 μm before (top) and 10 min after the deposition of magnetic beads (bottom).To demonstrate the capability of the array to capture cells into a format amenable for rapid image processing, we organized CD3+ lymphocytes using only hand-held permanent magnets. We isolated CD3+ lymphocytes from blood via positive selection using anti-CD3 magnetic nanoparticles (EasySep™, STEMCELL Technologies) with purities confirmed by flow cytometry (97.8%; see supplementary material16). We then stained 1 × 106 CD3+ cells with anti-CD8 Alexa-488 and anti-CD4 Alexa-647 (5 μl of each antibody in 100 μl for 20 min; BD Bioscience) to determine the CD4:CD8 ratio, a prognostic ratio for assessing the immune system.17,18Variably spaced neodymium magnets (0.5 in. × 0.5 in. × 1 in.; K&J Magnetics, Inc.) were fixed on either side of the microchip to generate a tunable magnetic field (0–400 G; Fig. 2(a)). Using this setup, fluorescently labeled cells were deposited, and the populations of CD4+ and CD8+ cells were indiscriminately arrayed, imaged, and enumerated using ImageJ. The resulting CD4:CD8 ratio of 1.84 ± 0.18 (Fig. 2(b)) was confirmed by flow cytometry with a high correlation (5.4% difference; Fig. 2(c)), indicating the magnetographic microarray can pattern cells for the rapid and accurate assessment of critical phenotypical parameters without complex equipment (e.g., function generators or flow cytometers).Open in a separate windowFIG. 2.CD8 analysis of CD3+ lymphocytes. (a) Photograph of the magnetographic device activated by permanent magnets (covered with green tape). The CD4:CD8 ratio determined by the (b) magnetographic microarray and (c) and (d) flow cytometry was 1.84 and 1.74, respectively.More complex operations, such as the programmed deposition of cell pairs, can be achieved by leveraging the switchable, bistable magnetization of the micromagnets for the detailed studies of cell-cell interactions (Figs. 3(a)–3(d)).12 For these studies, a 200 G horizontal field generated from an electromagnetic coil was used to magnetize the micromagnets.19 We then captured different concentrations of magnetic beads as surrogates for cells (8.4 μm polystyrene, Spherotech, Inc.) and found that higher bead concentrations did not affect the capture accuracy (>95%; see supplementary material16).Open in a separate windowFIG. 3.Programmed pairing of magnetic beads and CD3+ lymphocytes.

(e) Capture accuracy of magnetic bead pairs. (Each color (and shape) represents the field strength of the reversed field.) (f) Change in the capture accuracy (loss) of initially captured beads after reversing the magnetic field. The capture accuracy of (g) magnetically labeled cell pairs and (h) the second magnetically labeled cell (for (e)–(h): n = 5; time starts from the deposition of the second set of cells or beads).The opposite side of each micromagnet was then populated with the second (yellow fluorescent) bead by reversing the direction of the applied magnetic field. We tested several field strengths (i.e., 10, 25, 40, or 55 G) to optimize the conditions for isolating the desired bead in the opposite well without ejecting the first bead. If the field strength was too large, the previously deposited beads could be ejected from their wells due to the repulsive magnetic force overcoming gravity.12 As shown in Figure 3(e), increasing the field strength from 10 to 25 G significantly increased the capture accuracy at 60 min from the deposition of the second bead (p < 0.01), but increases from 25 to 55 G did not affect the capture accuracy (p > 0.10). As shown in Figure 3(f), higher field strengths (i.e., 40 and 55 G) resulted in lower capture accuracies compared to lower field strengths (i.e., 10 and 25 G) (p < 0.01), which was primarily due to ejection of the initially captured beads when the micromagnets reversed their polarity.We then arranged pairs of membrane dyed (calcein AM, Invitrogen; PKH26, Sigma) magnetically labeled CD3+ lymphocytes. First, red stained cells (150 μl of 2 × 104 cells/ml) were deposited on the microchip in the presence of 250 G vertical magnetic field. After 20 min, the field was reversed (i.e., to 40, 55, and 70 G) and green stained cells (150 μl of 2 × 104 cells/ml) were deposited on the microchip with images taken in 10 min intervals. Fluorescence images were overlaid (Fig. 3(c)) and the capture accuracy of cell pairs was determined (ImageJ).As seen in Figure 3(g), the capture accuracy of pairs of CD3+ lymphocytes was lower than that of magnetic beads (Fig. 3(e)). However, as shown in Figure 3(h), the second set of cells (green fluorescent) exhibited an average capture accuracy of 91.8% ± 1.9%. This indicates that the lower capture accuracy of cell pairs was either due to the ejection of initially captured (red fluorescent) cells or the migration of initially captured cells through the connecting channel, resulting from their relatively high deformability compared to magnetic beads.In summary, we developed a simple device capable of organizing magnetic particles, cells, and pairs of cells into well-defined compartments. A major advantage of this system is the use of specific magnetic labels to both isolate cells and program their deposition. While the design of this device does not enable dynamic control of the spacing between captured cell pairs as does some dielectrophoresis-based devices,20 it can easily capture cells with high fidelity using only permanent magnets and has clinical relevance in the assessment of immune parameters. These demonstrations potentiate a relatively simple and robust device where highly organized spatial arrangement of cells facilitates rapid and accurate analyses towards a functional and low-cost point-of-care device. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are required for cell culture. In this paper, we report the use of O(2) plasma bonding to fabricate a perfusion culture microchamber array chip with identical-size ECM spots in the isolated microchambers. The chip was fabricated by assembly of two poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) layers, a microfluidic network layer, and an ECM array layer, which were aligned and then bonded by O(2) plasma oxidation with protection of the ECM microarray with a physical mask made from PDMS. We successfully cultivated Chinese hamster ovary K1 cells in the microchambers with fibronectin. In the fibronectin microchambers, the cells adhered and extended after 12 h of static culture and then grew over the course of 1 d of perfusion culture. 相似文献

A multi-functional microfluidic platform was fabricated to demonstrate the feasibility of on-chip electroporation integrated with dielectrophoresis (DEP) and alternating-current-electro-osmosis (ACEO) assisted cell/particle manipulation. A spatial gradient of electroporation parameters was generated within a microchamber array and validated using normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells and red fluorescent protein-expressing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (RFP-HUVECs) with various fluorescent indicators. The edge of the bottom electrode, coinciding with the microchamber entrance, may act as an on-demand gate, functioning under either positive or negative DEP. In addition, at sufficiently low activation frequencies, ACEO vortices can complement the DEP to contribute to a rapid trapping/alignment of particles. As such, results clearly indicate that the microfluidic platform has the potential to achieve high-throughput screening for electroporation with spatial control and uniformity, assisted by DEP and ACEO manipulation/trapping of particles/cells into individual microchambers. 相似文献

In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility to trap and sort labeled cells under flow conditions using a microfluidic device with an integrated flat micro-patterned hard magnetic film. The proposed technique is illustrated using a cell suspension containing a mixture of Jurkat cells and HEK (Human Embryonic Kidney) 293 cells. Prior to sorting experiments, the Jurkat cells were specifically labeled with immunomagnetic nanoparticles, while the HEK 293 cells were unlabeled. Droplet-based experiments demonstrated that the Jurkat cells were attracted to regions of maximum stray field flux density while the HEK 293 cells settled in random positions. When the mixture was passed through a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channel containing integrated micromagnets, the labeled Jurkat cells were selectively trapped under fluid flow, while the HEK cells were eluted towards the device outlet. Increasing the flow rate produced a second eluate much enriched in Jurkat cells, as revealed by flow cytometry. The separation efficiency of this biocompatible, compact micro-fluidic separation chamber was compared with that obtained using two commercial magnetic cell separation kits. 相似文献

Seamless integration of biological components with electrochemical sensors is critical in the development of microdevices for cell analysis. The present paper describes the integration miniature Au electrodes next to immune cells (macrophages) in order to detect cell-secreted hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Photopatterning of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels was used to both immobilize horseradish peroxidase molecules onto electrodes and to define regions for cell attachment in the vicinity of sensing electrodes. Electrodes micropatterned in such a manner were enclosed inside poly(dimethylsiloxane) fluid conduits and incubated with macrophages. The cells attached onto the exposed glass regions in the vicinity of the electrodes and nowhere else on the non-fouling PEG hydrogel surface. A microfluidic device was converted into an electrochemical cell by placing flow-through Ag∕AgCl reference and Pt wire counter electrodes at the outlet and inlet, respectively. This microdevice with integrated H(2)O(2)-sensing electrodes had sensitivity of 27 μA∕cm(2) mM with a limit of detection of 2 μM. Importantly, this microdevice allowed controllable seeding of macrophages next to electrodes, activation of these cells and on-chip monitoring of H(2)O(2) release in real time. In the future, this biosensor platform may be utilized for monitoring of macrophage responses to pathogens or for the study of inflammatory signaling in micropatterned cell cultures. 相似文献

Recently, interest in single cell analysis has increased because of its potential for improving our understanding of cellular processes. Single cell operation and attachment is indispensable to realize this task. In this paper, we employed a simple and direct method for single-cell attachment and culture in a closed microchannel. The microchannel surface was modified by applying a nonbiofouling polymer, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer, and a nitrobenzyl photocleavable linker. Using ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation, the MPC polymer was selectively removed by a photochemical reaction that adjusted the cell adherence inside the microchannel. To obtain the desired single endothelial cell patterning in the microchannel, cell-adhesive regions were controlled by use of round photomasks with diameters of 10, 20, 30, or 50 μm. Single-cell adherence patterns were formed after 12 h of incubation, only when 20 and 30 μm photomasks were used, and the proportions of adherent and nonadherent cells among the entire UV-illuminated areas were 21.3%±0.3% and 7.9%±0.3%, respectively. The frequency of single-cell adherence in the case of the 20 μm photomask was 2.7 times greater than that in the case of the 30 μm photomask. We found that the 20 μm photomask was optimal for the formation of single-cell adherence patterns in the microchannel. This technique can be a powerful tool for analyzing environmental factors like cell-surface and cell-extracellular matrix contact. 相似文献

Magnetophoretic manipulation in microsystem using carbonyl iron-polydimethylsiloxane microstructures

This paper reports the use of a recent composite material, noted hereafter i-PDMS, made of carbonyl iron microparticles mixed in a PolyDiMethylSiloxane (PDMS) matrix, for magnetophoretic functions such as capture and separation of magnetic species. We demonstrated that this composite which combine the advantages of both components, can locally generate high gradients of magnetic field when placed between two permanent magnets. After evaluating the magnetic susceptibility of the material as a function of the doping ratio, we investigated the molding resolution offered by i-PDMS to obtain microstructures of various sizes and shapes. Then, we implemented 500 μm i-PDMS microstructures in a microfluidic channel and studied the influence of flow rate on the deviation and trapping of superparamagnetic beads flowing at the neighborhood of the composite material. We characterized the attraction of the magnetic composite by measuring the distance from the i-PDMS microstructure, at which the beads are either deviated or captured. Finally, we demonstrated the interest of i-PDMS to perform magnetophoretic functions in microsystems for biological applications by performing capture of magnetically labeled cells. 相似文献

The capture and subsequent analysis of rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells from a peripheral blood sample, has the potential to advance our understanding and treatment of a wide range of diseases. There is a particular need for high purity (i.e., high specificity) techniques to isolate these cells, reducing the time and cost required for single-cell genetic analyses by decreasing the number of contaminating cells analyzed. Previous work has shown that antibody-based immunocapture can be combined with dielectrophoresis (DEP) to differentially isolate cancer cells from leukocytes in a characterization device. Here, we build on that work by developing numerical simulations that identify microfluidic obstacle array geometries where DEP–immunocapture can be used to maximize the capture of target rare cells, while minimizing the capture of contaminating cells. We consider geometries with electrodes offset from the array and parallel to the fluid flow, maximizing the magnitude of the resulting electric field at the obstacles'' leading and trailing edges, and minimizing it at the obstacles'' shoulders. This configuration attracts cells with a positive DEP (pDEP) response to the leading edge, where the shear stress is low and residence time is long, resulting in a high capture probability; although these cells are also repelled from the shoulder region, the high local fluid velocity at the shoulder minimizes the impact on the overall transport and capture. Likewise, cells undergoing negative DEP (nDEP) are repelled from regions of high capture probability and attracted to regions where capture is unlikely. These simulations predict that DEP can be used to reduce the probability of capturing contaminating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (using nDEP) from 0.16 to 0.01 while simultaneously increasing the capture of several pancreatic cancer cell lines from 0.03–0.10 to 0.14–0.55, laying the groundwork for the experimental study of hybrid DEP–immunocapture obstacle array microdevices. 相似文献

This study describes the development and testing of a magnetic microfluidic chip (MMC) for
trapping and isolating cells tagged with superparamagnetic beads (SPBs) in a microfluidic
environment for selective treatment and analysis. The trapping and isolation are done in two
separate steps; first, the trapping of the tagged cells in a main channel is achieved by soft
ferromagnetic disks and second, the transportation of the cells into side chambers for isolation is
executed by tapered conductive paths made of Gold (Au). Numerical simulations were performed to
analyze the magnetic flux and force distributions of the disks and conducting paths, for trapping
and transporting SPBs. The MMC was fabricated using standard microfabrication processes. Experiments
were performed with E. coli (K12 strand) tagged with 2.8 μm SPBs.
The results showed that E. coli can be separated from a sample solution by trapping
them at the disk sites, and then isolated into chambers by transporting them along the tapered
conducting paths. Once the E. coli was trapped inside the side chambers, two
selective treatments were performed. In one chamber, a solution with minimal nutrition content was
added and, in another chamber, a solution with essential nutrition was added. The results showed
that the growth of bacteria cultured in the second chamber containing nutrient was significantly
higher, demonstrating that the E. coli was not affected by the magnetically driven
transportation and the feasibility of performing different treatments on selectively isolated cells
on a single microfluidic platform. 相似文献

Trapping single human osteoblast-like cells from a heterogeneous population using a dielectrophoretic microfluidic device 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We describe a system for the isolation, concentration, separation, and recovery of human osteoblast-like cells from a heterogeneous population using dielectrophoretic ring traps. Cells flowing in a microfluidic channel are immobilized inside an electric field cage using negative dielectrophoresis. A planar ring electrode creates a closed trap while repelling surrounding cells. Target cells are identified by fluorescent labeling, and are trapped as they pass across a ring electrode by an automated system. We demonstrate recovery of small populations of human osteoblast-like cells with a purity of 100%, which in turn demonstrates the potential of such a device for cell selection from a heterogeneous population. 相似文献

This paper presents a continuous flow microfluidic device for the separation of DNA from blood using magnetophoresis for biological applications and analysis. This microfluidic bio-separation device has several benefits, including decreased sample handling, smaller sample and reagent volumes, faster isolation time, and decreased cost to perform DNA isolation. One of the key features of this device is the use of short-range magnetic field gradients, generated by a micro-patterned nickel array on the bottom surface of the separation channel. In addition, the device utilizes an array of oppositely oriented, external permanent magnets to produce strong long-range field gradients at the interfaces between magnets, further increasing the effectiveness of the device. A comprehensive simulation is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics to study the effect of various parameters on the magnetic flux within the separation channel. Additionally, a microfluidic device is designed, fabricated, and tested to isolate DNA from blood. The results show that the device has the capability of separating DNA from a blood sample with a purity of 1.8 or higher, a yield of up to 33 μg of polymerase chain reaction ready DNA per milliliter of blood, and a volumetric throughput of up to 50 ml/h. 相似文献

Implantable drug delivery systems can provide long-term reliability, controllability, and biocompatibility, and have been used in many applications, including cancer pain and non-malignant pain treatment. However, many of the available systems are limited to zero-order, inconsistent, or single burst event drug release. To address these limitations, we demonstrate prototypes of a remotely operated drug delivery device that offers controllability of drug release profiles, using osmotic pumping as a pressure source and magnetically triggered membranes as switchable on-demand valves. The membranes are made of either ethyl cellulose, or the proposed stronger cellulose acetate polymer, mixed with thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel and superparamagnetic iron oxide particles. The prototype devices'' drug diffusion rates are on the order of 0.5–2 μg/h for higher release rate designs, and 12–40 ng/h for lower release rates, with maximum release ratios of 4.2 and 3.2, respectively. The devices exhibit increased drug delivery rates with higher osmotic pumping rates or with magnetically increased membrane porosity. Furthermore, by vapor deposition of a cyanoacrylate layer, a drastic reduction of the drug delivery rate from micrograms down to tens of nanograms per hour is achieved. By utilizing magnetic membranes as the valve-control mechanism, triggered remotely by means of induction heating, the demonstrated drug delivery devices benefit from having the power source external to the system, eliminating the need for a battery. These designs multiply the potential approaches towards increasing the on-demand controllability and customizability of drug delivery profiles in the expanding field of implantable drug delivery systems, with the future possibility of remotely controlling the pressure source. 相似文献

We observed and measured the fluid flow that was generated by an artificial cilium. The cilium was composed of superparamagnetic microspheres, in which magnetic dipole moments were induced by an external magnetic field. The interaction between the dipole moments resulted in formation of long chains-cilia, and the same external magnetic field was also used to drive the cilia in a periodic manner. Asymmetric periodic motion of the cilium resulted in generation of fluid flow and net pumping of the surrounding fluid. The flow and pumping performance were closely monitored by introducing small fluorescent tracer particles into the system. By detecting their motion, the fluid flow around an individual cilium was mapped and the flow velocities measured. We confirm that symmetric periodic beating of one cilium results in vortical motion only, whereas asymmetry is required for additional translational motion. We determine the effect of asymmetry on the pumping performance of a cilium, verify the theoretically predicted optimal pumping conditions, and determine the fluid behaviour around a linear array of three neighbouring cilia. In this case, the contributions of neighbouring cilia enhance the maximal flow velocity compared with a single cilium and contribute to a more uniform translational flow above the surface. 相似文献

Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles coated with gummic acid have been investigated as possible constituents of aqueous ferrofluids for biomedical applications and especially for MRI contrast agent. The structural characteristics and the size of the nanoparticles have been analyzed as well as the magnetic properties. In order to evaluate any possible capabilities as a contrast agent, the relaxation time, T2, of hydrogen protons in the colloidal solutions of nanoparticles have been measured in order to gain information on the relaxation behavior compared to other MRI contrast agents. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the obtained magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide coated with gummic acid was investigated by two separate methods (MTT and FACS analysis) and by using three different normal and transformed cell lines. Our results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles had no toxic effect on any of the cell lines used. 相似文献
