研究目的
To propose a portable plug-and-play syringe pump for precise fluid delivery in microfluidic applications, addressing the limitations of bulky and high-cost commercial pumps.
研究成果
The proposed portable plug-and-play syringe pump demonstrates the ability to produce precise flow rate with straightforward operation, and is totally self-sufficient and portable for miniaturized microfluidic applications. It successfully realized precise sample fluid mixing and high-efficiency particle inertial separation.
研究不足
The pump cannot be applied in microfluidic devices whose flow resistances are far higher than the flow resistance of the passive valve in the pump.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The pump is designed with a compression spring mechanism and a microfluidic flow regulatory chip containing three passive valves for flow control.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Deionized waters stained with red or blue inks were used for passive mixing, and fluorescently labeled particles for particle separation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a 3D printed pump, stainless steel compression spring, microfluidic flow regulatory chip, and silicon tubes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The pump's performance was characterized by measuring spring force and friction force, and its application was tested in passive mixing and particle separation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Flow rates were measured using a pressure controller and flow sensor, and particle trajectories were captured using microscopy.
