Title:
MEMS-BASED SINGLE PARTICLE SEPARATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/173710
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A particle separation system uses a MEMS-based, microfabricated particle manipulation device which has an inlet channel, output channels, and a movable member formed on a substrate to sort one or more target particle from a sample stream. The system may include an interposer that receives the sorted particle and dispenses a carrier fluid with it to form a liquid droplet containing the particle. The droplet may then be dispensed to a microtiter plate, such that each well in the titer plate may contain a single target particle. The system may be used to separate individual biological cells, such as T cells, B cells, stem cells, cancer cells and sperm cells for further manipulation.
