Delivery of minimally dispersed liquid interfaces for sequential surface chemistry. Ostromohov, N., Bercovici, M., & Kaigala, G., V. Lab on a Chip, 16(16):3015-3023, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016.
Website doi abstract bibtex We present a method for sequential delivery of reagents to a reaction site with minimal dispersion of their interfaces. Using segmented flow to encapsulate the reagents as droplets, the dispersion between reagent plugs remains confined in a limited volume, while being transmitted to the reaction surface. In close prox-imity to the target surface, we use a passive array of microstructures for removal of the oil phase such that the original reagent sequence is reconstructed, and only the aqueous phase reaches the reaction surface. We provide a detailed analysis of the conditions under which the method can be applied and demonstrate maintaining a transition time of 560 ms between reagents transported to a reaction site over a distance of 60 cm. We implemented the method using a vertical microfluidic probe on an open surface, allowing contact-free interaction with biological samples, and demonstrated two examples of assays implemented using the method: measurements of receptor–ligand reaction kinetics and of the fluorescence response of immobilized GFP to local variations in pH. We believe that the method can be useful for studying the dy-namic response of cells and proteins to various stimuli, as well as for highly automated multi-step assays.
