Paper Abstract
We present a pulsed laser activated cell sorter (PLACS) integrated with novel sheathless size-independent
dielectrophoretic (DEP) focusing. Microfluidic fluorescence activated cell sorting (μFACS) systems aim to provide a fully
enclosed environment for sterile cell sorting and integration with upstream and downstream microfluidic modules. Among
them, PLACS has shown a great potential in achieving comparable performance to commercial aerosol-based FACS
(>90% purity at 25,000 cells sec−1). However conventional sheath flow focusing method suffers a severe sample dilution
issue. Here we demonstrate a novel dielectrophoresis-integrated pulsed laser activated cell sorter (DEP-PLACS). It
consists of a microfluidic channel with 3D electrodes laid out to provide a tunnel-shaped electric field profile along a 4cmlong
channel for sheathlessly focusing microparticles/cells into a single stream in high-speed microfluidic flows. All
focused particles pass through the fluorescence detection zone along the same streamline regardless of their sizes and
types. Upon detection of target fluorescent particles, a nanosecond laser pulse is triggered and focused in a neighboring
channel to generate a rapidly expanding cavitation bubble for precise sorting. DEP-PLACS has achieved a sorting purity
of 91% for polystyrene beads at a throughput of 1,500 particle/sec.
