Reconfigurable 3D-printed Microchannel for Trapping Multi-size Particles.

抄録

Trapping micro-size targets, including microbeads, cells, and embryos, is necessary for many kinds of research. Fabricating the traditional microchannels for trapping is usually time-wasted, high-cost, and complex. Here, we proposed a variety of reconfigurable 3D-printed molds by which microchannels with trapping functions are fabricated. Microfluidic dynamic is the main mechanism to trap particles. This method can significantly decrease the cost and time of microchannel fabrication and also has the potential to enrich its combination of multiple functions.
