CA 2684612

Apparatus and Methods are provided for a microfabricated fluorescence activated cell sorter based on a 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. Optical and/or fluidic switching forces are used alone or in combination to effect switching.

L'invention porte sur un appareil et des procédés destinés à une trieuse microfabriquée de cellules activées par fluorescence basée sur un commutateur pour une régulation rapide et active de l'acheminent des cellules à travers un réseau de canaux microfluidiques. Cette trieuse permet un tri hautement efficace et à faible contrainte de populations de petits nombres de cellules (à savoir de 1 000 à 100 000 cellules). L'invention comprend le conditionnement du réseau de canaux microfluidiques dans une cartouche plastique indépendante qui permet au réseau de canaux microfluidiques d'interconnecter des instruments à l'échelle macroscopique dans un format stérile et jetable. Des forces de commutation optiques et/ou fluidiques sont utilisées seules ou en combinaison pour effectuer la commutation.
