Droplet formation of highly viscous Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a microfluidic flow focusing device: scaling of droplet size and production frequency

Authesserre C., Bottausci F., Costa G., Alessio M., Benhamou P-Y., Icard B., Rivera F., CEA-Leti Grenoble, FR

Polymer particles are largely used for different applications such as chromatography columns, calibration standards, drug delivery or cell encapsulation1. For all these applications, high size monodispersity and production frequency are required. Moreover, the polymers are [...]

New microfluidic chip for the production of spherical gelled capsule for cell encapsulation

Dalle P., Morales S., Berthier J., Benhamou P-Y., Bellemin Comte A., Boizot F., Costa G., Rivera F., CEA-LETI, FR

Implantation of Langerhans islet in alginate shell is an alternative for the treatment of diabetes type 1. Finding an adapted process for cell encapsulation is a challenge. The process must product spherical and monodisperse capsules [...]

The Physics of Pressure Powered Micro-Flow Focusing Device for the Encapsulation of Live Cells

Berthier J., Dalle P., Rivera F., Renaudot R., Morales S., Benhamou P-Y., Caillat P., CEA-LETI, FR

Flow focusing devices (FFD) have emerged as a powerful tool for cell encapsulation and formation of micro-emulsions [1,2]. In the frame of live cell encapsulation, a micro-FFD using alginate solutions for the capsule and powered [...]
