    Focusing-free impedimetric differentiation of red blood cells and leukemia cells: A system optimization
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2020) Bilican, Ismail; Guler, Mustafa Tahsin; Serhatlioglu, Murat; Kirindi, Talip; Elbuken, Caglar
    A focusing-free microfluidic impedimetric cell detection system is developed. The effect of the channel dimensions, solution conductivity, excitation voltage, and particle size on impedimetric signal outputs were optimized to increase the sensitivity of the system. Conventional microfabrication techniques were adapted to obtain low height, resealable microchannels. The geometry optimization was performed by a combination of analytical, numerical and experimental approaches. The results demonstrate that reliable impedimetric particle differentiation can be achieved without any labeling or particle focusing. The system parameters were studied and rule-of-thumb design criteria were provided. Finally, using the developed system, red blood cells and leukemia cells were experimentally detected and differentiated. Thanks to its simplicity, the focusing-free cell differentiation system may find applications in several cellular diagnostic uses.

    Impedance-based viscoelastic flow cytometry
    (Wiley, 2019) Serhatlioglu, Murat; Asghari, Mohammad; Guler, Mustafa Tahsin; Elbuken, Caglar
    Elastic nature of the viscoelastic fluids induces lateral migration of particles into a single streamline and can be used by microfluidic based flow cytometry devices. In this study, we investigated focusing efficiency of polyethylene oxide based viscoelastic solutions at varying ionic concentration to demonstrate their use in impedimetric particle characterization systems. Rheological properties of the viscoelastic fluid and particle focusing performance are not affected by ionic concentration. We investigated the viscoelastic focusing dynamics using polystyrene (PS) beads and human red blood cells (RBCs) suspended in the viscoelastic fluid. Elasto-inertial focusing of PS beads was achieved with the combination of inertial and viscoelastic effects. RBCs were aligned along the channel centerline in parachute shape which yielded consistent impedimetric signals. We compared our impedance-based microfluidic flow cytometry results for RBCs and PS beads by analyzing particle transit time and peak amplitude at varying viscoelastic focusing conditions obtained at different flow rates. We showed that single orientation, single train focusing of nonspherical RBCs can be achieved with polyethylene oxide based viscoelastic solution that has been shown to be a good candidate as a carrier fluid for impedance cytometry.

    Tape'n roll inertial microfluidics
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2019) Asghari, Mohammad; Serhatlioglu, Murat; Saritas, Resul; Guler, Mustafa Tahsin; Elbuken, Caglar
    Particle focusing and separation in microfluidic devices are critical for biological and medical applications. Inertial microfluidics is used for high throughput bio-particle focusing and separation. Most of the inertial microfluidic systems use planar structures for squeezing the particles in streams. Particle manipulation in 3D structures is often overlooked due to the complexity of the fabrication. In this study, we introduce some novel microchannel designs for inertial microfluidics by using a simple fabrication method that allows construction of both 2D and 3D structures. First, inertial migration of particles in 2D layouts including straight, spiral, and square spiral channels is investigated. Afterward, by applying a "tape'n roll" method, helical and double oriented spiral channels are configured and unexplored inertial migration behaviours are observed. Thanks to the simplicity of the fabrication and the unique characteristics of the new designs, high performance microfluidic inertial migration results can be obtained without any need for complicated microfabrication steps. The design optimization cycle can also be shortened using a computational approach we introduce in this study. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
