  • Title: Review of cell and particle trapping in microfluidic systems.
    Author: Nilsson J, Evander M, Hammarström B, Laurell T.
    Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2009 Sep 07; 649(2):141-57. PubMed ID: 19699390.
    Abstract:
    The ability to obtain ideal conditions for well-defined chemical microenvironments and controlled temporal chemical and/or thermal variations holds promise of high-resolution cell response studies, cell-cell interactions or e.g. proliferation conditions for stem cells. It is a major motivation for the rapid increase of lab-on-a-chip based cell biology research. In view of this, new chip-integrated technologies are at an increasing rate being presented to the research community as potential tools to offer spatial control and manipulation of cells in microfluidic systems. This is becoming a key area of interest in the emerging lab-on-a-chip based cell biology research field. This review focuses on the different technical approaches presented to enable trapping of particles and cells in microfluidic system.
