CA 2536360

Apparatus and Methods are provided for a microfabricated fluorescence activated cell sorter based on an optical switch for rapid, active control of cell routing through a microfluidic channel network. This sorter enables low- stress, highly efficient sorting of populations of small numbers of cells (i.e., 1000 - 100,000 cells). The invention includes packaging of the microfluidic channel network in a self-contained plastic cartridge that enables microfluidic channel network to macro-scale instrument interconnect, in a sterile, disposable format.

La présente invention a trait à un appareil et des procédés pour un dispositif de tri de cellules microfabriqué activé par fluorescence basé sur un commutateur optique pour le contrôle rapide de transport de cellules à travers un réseau de canaux microfluidiques. Ce dispositif de tri permet une opération de tri hautement efficace à faible contrainte pour des populations peu nombreuses de cellules (notamment, de 1000 à 100,000 cellules). La présente invention a également trait au conditionnement de réseau de canaux microfluidiques dans une cartouche autonome en matière plastique permettant l'interconnexion du réseau de canaux microfluidiques à un instrument d'écoulement à grande échelle, dans un format stérile jetable.
