Problems solved by technology

These methods generally have the disadvantages of low capture efficiency, cumbersome operation steps, low sensitivity, and easy to cause irreversible damage to the sample.
Mature commercialized flow cytometers require high costs (instrument cost, reagent consumption, skilled operators), which limits their widespread adoption

Abstract

The invention discloses a system for focusing or separating micro-nano particles and cells on basis of a non-Newton effect. The system is characterized in that the system comprises: a working fluid having a non-Newton fluid effect; a working fluid conveying device used for conveying the working fluid having a non-Newton fluid effect; micro-fluidic units including micro-channels, wherein the micro-fluidic units are arranged on the working fluid conveying device in parallel, are connected with the working fluid conveying device through a pipeline and are used for focusing or separating the micro-nano particles or cells conveyed by the working fluid conveying device; and an outlet arranged at the tail ends of the micro-fluidic units and used for collecting target micro-nano particles or cells, wherein no branch outlets are arranged when the outlet is used for focusing; and the quantity and the width of the branch outlets are set according to separation characteristics when the outlet is used for separating in order to make the micro-nano particles or cells with different dimension to flow into different branch outlets. The system and the method realize simple operation and good effect of separation and focusing of the micro-nano particles and the cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system and method for focusing and separating micro-nano particles and cells based on the non-Newton effect. Background technique [0002] Continuously manipulating (such as focusing and separating) micro-nanoparticles and cells is of great significance in many applications and research fields such as medical treatment, pharmaceuticals, hematology, and microbiology. Flow cytometry is widely used in these fields, in which micro-nanoparticles and cells need to be focused into a single queue in space before they can be effectively detected and analyzed by fluorescence activation and laser scattering methods. The focusing position should be consistent with the average distance between particles and cells and the depth direction. [0003] The current mainstream method for spatially focusing micro-nanoparticles and cells is to use sheath flow. The sheath fluid on both sides flows from the sheath fluid tube to the nozzle hole, surr...
