  • Motion of submicrometer particles in micrometer-size channel measured by defocusing nano-particle image velocimetry

    Understanding the motion of colloidal particles flowing in small spaces is a general issue in various fields such as thermal engineering and micro/nanofluidics. In the present study, we investigated the motion of fluorescent submicrometer particles in a 3-mu m microchannel by defocusing nanoparticle image velocimetry. An optical measurement system with controlled spherical aberration and an algorithm for processing defocused particle images with multiple diffraction rings were developed. By detecting the centroid position and the diameter of the outermost diffraction ring, which is proportional to the distance between the focal plane and the particle, the position of particles was determined with the spatial resolutions of 154-204 nm in the streamwise direction and 76-311 nm in the depthwise direction, which are comparable to or smaller than the optical diffraction limit. A reusable microfluidic device containing a size-regulated microchannel made of glass was developed, which is suitable for optical measurements and precise flow control. By controlling the strength of low-temperature glass bonding, detachment of the bonded glass substrates, washing, and reuse were achieved. Based on this method and technology, the velocity of particles with diameters of 199, 457, and 1114 nm was successfully measured in pressure-driven laminar flow. Results suggested that for larger particles comparable to the channel size, the particle velocity is slowed from the flow velocity by particle-wall hydrodynamic interactions. Therefore, the motion of colloidal particles in 10(0)-mu m spaces is considered to be affected by particle-wall hydrodynamic interactions, as well as 10(2)-mu m spaces reported previously.

    With developments in analytical devices promoted by nanofluidics, estimation of the flow rate in a nanochannel has become important to calculate volumes of samples and reagents in chemical processing. However, measurement of the flow rate in nanospaces remains challenging. In the present study, a mass flowmetry system was developed, and the flow rate of water by pressure-driven flow in a fused-silica nanochannel was successfully measured in picoliters per second. We revealed that the water flow rate is dependent on the viscosity significantly increased in a square nanochannel with 102 nm width and depth (3.6 times higher than the bulk viscosity for a representative channel size of 190 nm) and slightly increased in a plate nanochannel with micrometer-scale width and 102 nm depth (1.3 times higher for that of 234 nm), because of dominant surface effects. The developed method and results obtained will greatly contribute to nanofluidics and other related fields.

  • Picoliter liquid handling at gas/liquid interface by surface and geometry control in a micro-nanofluidic device

    　View Summary

    In micro- and nanofluidic devices, highly precise fluidic control is essential. Conventional mechanical valves in microchannels and nanochannels have size limitations, whereas hydrophobic (Laplace) valves are generally difficult to use for low-surface-tension liquids. In the present study, we developed a method for handling picoliter volumes of low-surface-tension liquids in a micro-nanofluidic device. The proposed Laplace valve is based on the pinning effect. A fused silica micro-nanofluidic device that includes a picoliter chamber whose geometry was designed to induce capillary pinning was designed and fabricated. The measured Laplace pressure of a lysis buffer (surfactant) was consistent with the calculated pressure, indicating successful fabrication and hydrophobic surface modification. The working principle of the Laplace valve was verified. The Laplace valve maintained the lysis buffer at the gas/liquid interface for 60 min, which is sufficiently long for cell lysis operations. Finally, replacement of liquids in the picoliter chamber using the valve was demonstrated. The proposed method will contribute to basic technologies for fluidic control in micro- and nanofluidic devices, and the proposed Laplace valve can be used for low-surface-tension liquids. In addition, the developed valve and picoliter chamber can be utilized for the interface in single-cell lysis, which will facilitate the development of single-cell analysis devices.

    ナノ流体工学が進展し化学分離・分析法の超高機能化が実現しつつある。一方、同スケールの細胞・小胞は既存の化学の方法ではできない多種多様な機能を有しており、その中の細胞膜と膜タンパクは様々な分子種の超高選択的輸送や濃度勾配を逆行する能動輸送など特異的な役割を担う。そこで代表者は、細胞膜と膜タンパクをナノ流路に組込み機能を再現すれば、既存の化学の延長でない新しいナノ流体機能デバイスを創成でき、夾雑物からの超高選択的分離、簡易迅速薬物モニタリング、人工細胞／小胞システムなどを実現できると着想した。そこで本研究では、独自のナノ流路油水平行二相流形成技術を活用したナノスケール脂質二重膜組込技術を開発する。

    流体工学が光の波長より小さいナノ空間へと進展している。しかし、空間が幅・深さ数100 nm以下になると液体の物性変化など様々な特異的現象が発現するため、この空間の物質輸送を明らかにする超解像度（10 nm分解能）の流速分布計測が重要となる。流速分布計測法としては粒子画像流速計（PIV）が一般的であるが、(x, y, z)３方向に対して超解像度を実現することは極めて難しかった。そこで本研究では、レンズの結像で問題となる球面収差を積極活用・制御して、非焦点領域の粒子像からナノ粒子の位置を10 nm分解能で検出するデフォーカス・ナノPIVを開発する。

    　View Summary

    Analytical methods utilizing small spaces, as represented by micro and extended-nano fluidic devices, have been developed. We have developed thermal lensing microscope (TLM) and photothermal optical phase shift (POPS) detection to detect non-fluorescent molecules in small spaces with high sensitivity. However, the UV-excitation POPS detection has some problems such as heat dissipation in the extended-nano channel and insufficient reduction of optical background due to interference, which hinders measurements with high sensitivity as TLM. In this study, we developed an extended-nano fluidic device with an integrated thermo-optic layer to recover the sensitivity loss due to the thermal diffusion and a background-free POPS detector to achieve ultrahigh sensitivity.
