Multiplexing microelectrodes for dielectrophoretic manipulation and electrical impedance measurement of single particles and cells in a microfluidic device.
Electrophoresis 2019 January 32
This work presents a microfluidic device, which was patterned with (i) microstructures for hydrodynamic capture of single particles and cells, and (ii) multiplexing microelectrodes for selective release via negative dielectrophoretic (nDEP) forces and electrical impedance measurements of immobilized samples. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to investigate the fluidic profiles within the microchannels during the hydrodynamic capture of particles and evaluate the performance of single-cell immobilization. Results showed uniform distributions of velocities and pressure differences across all 8 trapping sites. The hydrodynamic net force and the nDEP force acting on a 6-μm sphere were calculated in a 3D model. Polystyrene beads with difference diameters (6 μm, 8 μm, and 10 μm) and budding yeast cells were employed to verify multiple functions of the microfluidic device, including reliable capture and selective nDEP-release of particles or cells and sensitive electrical impedance measurements of immobilized samples. The size of immobilized beads and the number of captured yeast cells can be discriminated by analyzing impedance signals at 1 MHz. Results also demonstrated that yeast cells can be immobilized at single-cell resolution by combining the hydrodynamic capture with impedance measurements and nDEP-release of unwanted samples. Therefore, the microfluidic device integrated with multiplexing microelectrodes potentially offers a versatile, reliable and precise platform for single-cell analysis.
