Mold Fabrication

  1. CAD-pattern for photomask fabrication. 将光刻掩膜利用光刻技术将pattern转移到涂有光刻胶的硅片上
  1. based on the pattern, fabricate a mould. expose SU-8 negative photoresisit through the photomask. UV exposed photoresist will polymised and the rest will disolve and be washed away in the developing stage.
  2. SU-8 mould as a template(剩余SU-8形成凸起会形成阳模去进行PDMS微流控芯片的制作) for PDMS pre-mix casting

PDMS Chip Fabrication:

  1. 将模板硅片用含惰性基团(如氟代烷基)的硅烷处理以防止下一步操作时PDMS 和硅片的永久键合.

EV (extracellur Vesicle) subpopulations

  • based on size and biogenesis
  • surface: protein marker cargo: mRNA, miRNA, dsRNA
      apoptotic bodies (>1000 nm);

      microvesicles (∽100–1000;nm);

      exosomes (∽30–150 nm).

Apoptosis

is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms

apoptotic- of or relating to apoptosis

In contrast to necrosis, which is a form of traumatic cell death that results from acute cellular injury, apoptosis is a highly regulated and controlled process that confers advantages during an organism’s lifecycle.


exosome isolation using Microfluidics

  • immunoaffinity
  • membrane-based filtration
  • trapping on nanowires
  • acoustic nanofiltration
  • deterministic lateral displacement (DLD)
  • viscoelastic flow sorting

Exosome cultured and purified by conventional methods, e.g.

  • filtration
  • ultracentrifugation
  • immunocapture via targeted markers

  • sample might have pre-processing((serum, plasma, whole blood)
