Fabrication and testing of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel for lab-on-chip (LOC) magnetically-labelled biological cells separation
Ummikalsom Abidin1, Jumril Yunas2, Burhanuddin Yeop Majlis3.
Microfluidics channel of micron- to millimeter in dimension has been widely used for fluid
handling in transporting, mixing and separating biological cells in Lab-on-Chip (LoC)
applications. In this research, fabrication and testing of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
microfluidic channel for Lab-on-chip magnetically-labelled biological cells separation is
presented. The microchannel is designed with one inlet and outlet. A reservoir or chamber
is proposed as an extra component of the microchannel design for ease of trapping the
intended biological cells in LoC magnetic separator system. The PDMS microchannel of
circular-shaped chamber geometry has been successfully fabricated using replica
molding technique from SU-8 negative photoresist mold. An agglomerate-free microbeads
flowing has been observed using the fabricated PDMS microchannel. Trapping of
microbeads in the trapping chamber with 2.0 A current supply in the continuous
microfluidics flow > 100 L/min has also been demonstrated. In conclusion, a separation of
biological cells labelled with magnetic microbeads is expected to be realized using the
fabricated PDMS microchannel
