Abstract

On chip cell analysis is one of important issues in micro technology research area. One approach to control the fluid flow in microfluidic devices for cell analysis is using appropriate pumps. However, it is difficult to control actual flow rate in microfluidic devices due to difficulty to put flow rate sensors in the microfluidic devices. In this work, we develop a real-time flow rate control system using syringe pumps and high-speed vision which can measure actual fluid flow in microfluidic devices. The developed flow-rate control system is verified through microparticle velocity control experiment and microparticle sorting experiments.
