E-1-2 Improvement of Cell Trapping Efficiency in Microfluidic Device Having Micro-Orifice Array

Abstract

Recently, there are many researches related to single cell trapping techniques using a microfluidic device. We have proposed a cell trapping array having micro-channels, micro-orifices, and tapered structure for single cell analysis fabricated by multidirectional photolithography and soft-micromachining. In this study, we investigated agglutination of cell samples infused to the cell trapping array to improve cell trapping efficiency at each orifice.
