I would like to know about the chaotic mixer for microchannels, could you please help me on that?

What would you like to know?  We have a fair bit of experience in our lab with different mixer designs.  Is there a particular application that you looking into?

Thanks for respond Ken,

I would like to know if there is a JORNAL movie regarding the chaotic mixer for microchannels?

or

I need to have enough knowledge to critic (Abraham D.Stroock paper: Chaotic Mixer for Microchannels).

 

Best,

 

Esmaeil.

Hello David,

The devices will soon be commercially available.

Please email xonamicrofluidics@gmail.com for more information

during silanization of surface, you use 5% of silane is it in absolute ethanol or in H2O?

did you characterize surface coverage of functional groups on channel surface?

We do 5% silane in either absolute ethanol or in 95% ethanol (5% H20).  Water catalyzes the silanization and so you need to react a bit longer with the anhydrous ethanol to get good coverage. Typically for anhydrous conditions, we react for ~30 minutes and for the 5% aqueous, we react only 10 minutes.

We did not fully characterize the surface coverage of the functional groups on the surface.  You could take the device apart and use XPS to look at the atomic composition of the surface.  We determined the optimal conditions more empirically than that - we modified conditions for the highest density surface coverage by the cells that we wanted to capture.

Hi,

Can you please tell me what was the pH of the silane solution that you used?

Thanks in anticipation.

It was neutral pH, but can and perhaps should be slightly acidic.  You can make the ethanol solution slightly acidic ~pH 5 with acetic acid.  This will speed up the reaction, and you will need to shorten the time in silane/ethanol solution to about 5 minutes. Also be sure to wash throughly if you go this route.

Great article - thanks for sharing.  I had one question.  Where did you get the spouts for pouring PDMS?  PDMS pouring can be such a mess, and it looks like you have found a nice solution.  If you could share the product information, I would appreciate it. 

Thanks!

Dear Kotz,

Great work!!! I have a question not related to the experiment. I wonder from where you got those dispensers for the PDMS and the curing agent. Do you get these from Dow Corning? Or you have any other supplier. I will appreciate if you can please share this information with me. My email ID is a.asthana@uq.edu.au.

Best regards

Amit

Dear Kenneth Kotz

I have found your work as one of the best processes in microfluidic fabrication.
I have tried to repeat this process in my laboratory, but I have a problem for peeling
off PDMS from master mould. Would you please more explain for me about this process? The
material of Petri dish that you used is glass or plastic? And when I pour PDMS on the
master, during the curing process PDMS adhere to the Petri dish either glass and plastic,
in addition the adhesive problem related PDMS and master mould.
I want to explain more about my problem. In fact I used glass Petri dish and put the
master mould in it and when I pour PDMS on the master mold, it will be spread and some of
the PDMS penetrate under the master mould and causes the adhesion between glass wall of
the Petri Dish and master mould and as a result the master mould break when I want to
peel off PDMS and pick up mould master.
In the other hand although I use silanization process for peeling off the
PDMS from master mould, it is not effective. I think these problems are related together.
Would you please explain for me how can I solve them?
I would appreciate you for helping me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks
H.Madadi

The master mold was fixed in a polystyrene petri dish with clean room adhesive tape taping the edge. A small amount of liquid PDMS does penetrate under the wafer, but we cut out the PDMS device with a surgical razor blade. If you want to release PDMS from the whole wafer, you need to cut along the edge of the wafer first using a razor blade.

Hello,
I am currently about to start a project investigating glycoproteins-E-selectin in ovarian cancer, and will need to use a microfluidic device. This device is being fabricated by the mechanical engineering department in my university.
However, they have minimal experience in this area, and have asked me to research what the microfluidic channel would be coated with for our purposes.
I would eventually need to be able to both immobilise proteins on the walls of the channel and make cells adhere in a monolayer in the channel. I am unable to find much clear information whether a silane coating will fulfil both these functions, and am looking for more information.
Could you please tell me about what sort of coating will be required in order to be able to achieve both these aims?
Thank you,
