Calibration of fluid flow velocity
To visualize the flow profile, rainbow beads (diameter:) were dissolved in the cell culture medium, which contains the dead cells. A series of pump speed(5ul/min, 15ul/min, and 45ul/min) were applied to generate a steady fluid flow. The exposure time was set to 100m so that the length of the streak(shown as a gray line in Fig. 1) represents the total traveling distance of the beads during the exposure time. Fig. 1 shows a typical image of a bead trace in the fast microfluidics channel with a pump speed of 5ul/min. To minimize hydraulic effects of the PDMS walls, the pictures were taken from the midplane of the channel providing the maximum flow velocity. Note that the traveling direction of the beads was left. Each streak was measured separately, and the average length of all streaks in one particular channel divides the exposure time was regarded as the fluid flow velocity of this channel. [1]
Fig. 1: a typical method to measure the fluid flow velocity.
Experiment
To minimize the error, we took pictures on fast microfluidics channel when pump speed was 5ul/min; on mid microfluidics channel when pump speed was 15ul/min; on slow microfluidics channel when pump speed was 45ul/min, considering that fluid flow velocity is directly proportional to pump speed.
Data collection blow:
| channel | speed(ul/min) | length①(um) | length②(um) | length③(um) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fast | 5 | 630 | 455 | 610 |
| mid | 15 | 180 | 160 | 180 |
| slow | 45 | 48 | 75 | 80 |
Result
We wrote a MatLab program to calculate the fluid flow velocities and converted the result under the pump speed of 45ul/min. Codes were shown below:
MatLab Code:
ex_fast=[630,455,610]*90; % align the data to um/s by multiply 10 and convert to 45ul/min ex_mid=[180,160,180]*30; ex_slow=[48,75,80]*10; ex_fast_mean=mean(ex_fast); ex_fast_std=std(ex_fast); ex_mid_mean=mean(ex_mid); ex_mid_std=std(ex_mid); ex_slow_mean=mean(ex_slow); ex_slow_std=std(ex_slow);
| variable | mean(ul/min) | variable | std(ul/min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ex_fast_mean | 50850 | ex_fast_std | 8620.8 |
| ex_mid_mean | 5200 | ex_mid_std | 346.4102 |
| ex_slow_mean | 676.67 | ex_slow_std | 172.14 |
