Flow control using vacuum controller for aspiration of fluid in microfluidic devices

For some experiments, the use of a vacuum controller to control flow in microfluidic devices has strong advantages.

– Injection of costly sample  in microfluidic devices can be performed using a vacuum controller plugged on the outlet of the microfluidic device. In this case, the sample can be deposited in an inlet hole using a pipette and handle along the microfluidic channel using the vacuum controller plugged at the outlet.

– The injection of cell on chip can be aggressive with biological organism. It is possible to inject cells in the chip by putting them in a reservoir drilled at the entrance of the microfluidic chip and aspirate them using a vacuum controller plugged on the outlet of the microfluidic device.

– Our vacuum controller has also been used to deform PDMS channel in order to squeeze cells in a controlled manner.
