Full textMicrofluidics and an appropriate substrate are essentials for the design of low-cost point-of-care diagnostic devices. The particular mechanical and structural properties (porosity, elasticitydots) of polymeric foam are unique among the other widespread materials in microfluidics (PDMS, paper, plastic materials, glass, silicondots). A systematic screening of the different capabilities provided by polymeric foam as a new substrate for microfluidics is offered in this thesis. First off, a shaping process is proposed for the production of fluidic microsystems. This new process relies on the combined usage of a polymeric foam and an elastomer to produce highly elastic fluidic systems that keep the initial structural properties of the foam. Based on a controlled and repeatable embossing technic, the process is compatible with industrial production. A coupled numerical model also allows its optimization. The resulting foam microfluidic devices have, besides capillarity, a decisive asset : the option of a manual compression or an external peristaltic actuation for a contamination-free control of the microfluidic flows. The peristaltic actuation can function as a pump and as a valve. A lumped elements model enables a dynamic reproduction of the fluidic behavior inside the foam channels. To ensure proper integration in low-cost portable devices, the fundamental stages of a diagnostic test (retrieval and preparation of a sample, detection) are validated. We show that filtration of objects of only a few tens of micrometers in size is possible. The foam devices can also be chemically functionalized to optimise the capture of specific biological targets. The fluorescent or colorimetric detection of biological elements is equally possible by means of isothermal DNA amplification. Finally, a blood typing prototype gives access to the blood group of a whole blood sample in a few minutes. This last test is carried on an integrated device which highlights the main benefits of a foam device : robustness, user-friendly, embedded reagents, multiple materials combination, transport of a biological sample by external compression controlled by an operator, direct readout of a result in a few minutes

Full textThe purpose of this work is to study microfluidic devices with integrated thermal elements for process temperature monitoring and controlling. The ability of multiple parameters controlling, the small time-constant of micro-scale heat transfer, and the possibility of large scale device integration allow us to propose new tools for other advanced research purposes. In physics, we fabricated micro-conductimeters as tool to study thermal conductivity of nanofluids. In chemistry, we developed a flow-in micro-calorimeter which is compatible to the common lab-on-chip technologies. The possibility given by the high speed of heat transfer in microfluidic device led to the development of new tools for cell biology. In particular, we have being able to confine a colony of yeast cell and change the working temperature in a few seconds. It allowed us to control thermo sensitive protein activity and studying cytoskeleton properties of S. Pombe yeast. The devices and methods we proposed are therefore pertinent, providing new tools for cell biology studies and allowing in particularly a better understanding of the role of thermo sensitive proteins

Full textSince two decades the research on microfluidics systems allowed creating devices for biological detection with regular improvement in compactness, functionality integration and quantity of biological sample, leading to the concept of lab-on-chip. This approach has resulted in dramatic changes in the biomedical field, for example, opening the possibility to perform genomic analysis or improving the medical analysis cost. Using droplet as reaction chamber is a recent evolution that leads to a decrease in biological sample volume and an increase in analysis speed by multiplexing.Our team develops acoustical sensors dedicated to detect biomarker of interest in liquids. The principal weakness of theses sensors lies in their need for replacement of the biodetection interface for performing a new measurement. Accordingly, they use a detection chamber partially or totally disposable. However, few research works showed reusability of sensor by regenerating the bioreceptor layer on the detection interface by chemical treatment.We are proposing to avoid the replacement or the chemical treatment of the detection interface that requires dismounting the device between measurements. We are using here droplets, not as reaction chambers but as movable detection interface. They can be generated and configured directly inside the device to detect a specific biomarker. Then, droplets can be easily evacuated and replaced through the device, which allows to chain measurement of various configurations without dismounting it.The research work conducted in this thesis focuses on the fluidic aspects of this innovative sensor. They show development, including realization and characterization, of theses microfluidic devices and its dedicated characterization setup. This project is followed by two ancillary works about development of microfluidic devices for acoustical sensors and droplets systems. The first one is aiming at the homogenization of the flow velocity inside a reaction chamber. The second one is exploiting property of droplet generation for the realization of a variable capacitance capacitor

Full textMicrogravity, capillary tubes and hydrogels provide convection-free environments in which crystal growth and crystal quality required for structural biology can be significantly improved with regard to free solutions. Convection is also absent inside the nano-volumes of solutions contained in the micro- channels or -chambers of microfluidic systems. Besides being a means to miniaturize crystallization assays, the later also give access to high-throughput screening and crystal production under nearly ideal growth conditions. Microfluidics has innumerable potential applications in biotechnology and biomedical analysis. Here microfluidic chips were developped for the crystallization of biological macromolecules by counter-diffusion for crystallographic analyses. The prime criteria were versatility, low cost and user friendly handling. These devices enable crystal growers to search for initial crystallization conditions, optimize them and perform x-ray diffraction directly in situ. Practical aspects concerning the choice of the chip materials and the crystallization method are discussed

Full textCe travail de thèse vise à intégrer des nanofils de ZnO dans des dispositifs microfluidiques pour les études photocatalytiques et photovoltaïques. Tout d'abord, la méthode de croissance hydrothermale a été améliorée par dépôt direct d’une couche germe de ZnO de haute qualitéun en utilisant un procédé sol-gel et une technique de revêtement par centrifugation. Ensuite, cette couche de ZnO semencée a été lithographiée pour définir des zones de croissance. Comme résultats, les matrices de nanofils de ZnO bien alignées ont été obtenues sans fusion au pied des nanofils. Deuxièmement, des nanofils de ZnO à grande surface ont été intégrés dans les réacteurs microfluidiques, permettant une photocatalyse stable et à haut rendement. Troisièmement, les nanofils de ZnO intégrés ont été utilisés pour des essais sur les cellulaires solaires à colorant (DSSC), montrant une dépendance claire sur les conditions de croissance de nanofils de ZnO, mais peu d’effet sur le débit d'électrolyte microfluidique. Enfin, la synthèse hydrothermale a été appliquée pour obtenir des nanofibres de ZnO par électrofilage avec ou sans dopage de palladium. En comparant aux nanofibres de ZnO purs, les nanofibres de ZnO dopées de Pb ont montré une efficacité de photodégradation du bleu de méthylène améliorée

Full textThis work reports on the study of original strategies to limit biofouling in Electrowetting-on-Dielectric (EWOD) based microfluidic devices coupled with a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensor. Two complementary approaches have been investigated. In the first part, we take advantage of the high adsorption capacity of graphene oxide (GO) for biomolecules: the wetting properties of a mixed solution containing Bovin Serum Albumine (BSA) and GO show that GO keeps proteins in suspension inhibiting their adsorption on the surface. The most important result concerns the EWOD motion of BSA droplet with a concentration of 195ng/µL (with 500ng/µL of GO). In this case, the BSA concentration is 30 times higher than the BSA concentration which can be displaced without GO. We show also that the presence of GO in the droplet does not alter the enzymatic activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) after GO/HRP displacement. The other developed solution consists in the development of superomniphobic surfaces (known for their self-cleaning properties) via chemical deposition of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures. The chemically functionalized ZnO nanostructures display contact angles higher than 140° and hysteresis lower than 20° for liquids of surface tensions higher than 35 mN/m. To conclude, these two approaches have been validated for the targeted application. Interaction between biomolecules and the SPR biosensor can be realized (i) by controlling proteins’ desorption from GO in base solution, (ii) by making microapertures in ZnO nanostructured surfaces

Full textThis work deals with electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) technique and integration of superhydrophobic surfaces in a droplet-based microfluidic device. The first part of the thesis consists on the preparation of micro-, nano- and micro-nano-structured surfaces, and a detailed study of their robustness to impalement under electrowetting and drop impact. Hierarchical surperhydrophobic surfaces showed the best robustness to impalement. However, a silicon nanowires surface has shown an impalement threshold still in the state of art with a total reversible behavior under EWOD. In a second approach, we characterized droplet displacement using electrowetting in a microfluidic system and evidenced the influence of superhydrophobic surfaces compared to hydrophobic ones. For a given actuation voltage, the droplet motion is increased by +30% and for a given droplet motion, the actuation voltage is reduced by -30%. Moreover, wall shear stresses are more important. Finally, these properties are featured through two main applications: particles collection and bio-molecules analysis by matrix-free laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. For particles collection, a cleaning efficiency close to 100% either for virus or bacteria particles was reached using superhydrophobic surfaces. For lab-on-chip application, a detection limit of 10 fmol was obtained for peptides analysis using mass spectrometry

Full textThanks to research progress from this last ten years, which enables the implementation of more and more functions inside a microlfuidic device, the " lab on a chip " know a great rise namely in the health field. The first devices are appearing on the commercial market but a lock remain, is to identify rare circulating blood cells in low concentration. The separation technics simple, efficient and versatile are the answer to this problem. We are going to present in this work an original way of magnetic sorting thanks to planar micro coils in copper combine to a 3D microfluidic device, enable an efficient vertical separation. The study consists in the conception, the simulation, the fabrication and finally the test of devices for solution with beads first then with biological component from culture. The fabrication of the lab on a chip have been done thanks to photolithography process and an original dry film lamination technic. Thanks to its good robustness, in time and against solvent, and its good biocompatibility, the SU-8 is the perfect candidat to create LOC. This technology allow us to create 3D devices entirely in polymer and to add active functions such as magnetic separation. The microelectronic has miniaturized for a long time all kind of electronic tool. It is so interesting to see how we can implement such function inside a microfluidic device to create more complex functions. Finally we demonstrate a continuous separation of THP1 culture monocytes with an efficiency at 82% and several promising amelioration ways validated with magnetic beads

Full textThe plastics industry has been interested for some years in the possible convergence between microtechnologies and conventional polymer manufacturing (hot embossing and injection molding). In this context, this thesis aims at demonstrating the potential of a process based on microcontact printing in order to integrate metal based sensors in thermoplastic microfluidic devices shaped by hot embossing. For the mass production of thermoplastic devices, this approach appears more relevant than conventional photolithography. We chose to demonstrate this concept by investigating the integration of both a pH sensor and a temperature sensor in a thermoformed Cyclo Olefin Copolymer (COC) microfluidic system. Indeed, the measurement of these physicochemical parameters are extremely widespread in different applicative areas ranging from chemistry tobiology and medicine. For the pH sensor, we developed a pH-sensitive layer based on electrodeposited iridium oxide (IrOx) on Au. The influence of various parameters (plating solution and method , nature of the metal substrate and its method of preparation) on the pH response of these layers was studied. We were able to demonstrate that microcontact printing based on a passive approach is suitable for the preparation of pH sensors on a COC substrate with a sensitivity of -72 mV/pH and a 1 year lifetime. As regards the temperature sensor, the solution was to design a thermistor. Sensors were implemented with an approach based on active microcontact printing followed by electroless deposition of nickel (thickness varies between 0,2 and 5 μm) on polyimide. The drift of these sensors is too large for practical application. Finally, preliminary results presenting the integrating of these sensors in a fluidic microsystem are reported using an original configuration based on differential measurement of pH

Full textThe aim of this work is to characterize in detail fluorinated plasmas as CHF3/Ar, CF4/Ar and especially plasmas SF6/Ar and their interaction with silica glasses during an etching process devoted to microfluidic devices fabrication. First of all, we studied the electrical properties and the plasma kinetics by adopting an approach combining experiment and modeling. Thus, plasma diagnostics by mass spectrometry, Langmuir probes, optical emission spectroscopy were carried out. In parallel with this experimental study, we developed a global kinetic model to quantify the densities of neutral and charged species and the density and the electron temperature in various conditions of SF6/Ar discharge. The model results were validated with experimental results. Then etch rate and roughness measurements as well as surface analysis (XPS, AFM, SEM) were carried out after etching in SF6/Ar and CHF3/Ar plasmas. We show that decreasing the pressure and increasing the percentage of argon improve etching by increasing the etch rate of silica glass containing the most metal oxides and reducing surface roughness. Implementation for trench etching is successfully tested. Finally, the multi-scale modeling of plasma-surface interaction shows that the etch rate depends on the percentage of metal content in the glasses and the sputtering yield of metal sites. The roughness is due to the redeposition of metal species on the surface of the glass

Full textIn external aerodynamics of land and air vehicles, flow control is a major axis of performance improvement (lift increasing and drag reduction by eliminating flow separation on an aircraft wing, for example). In the control loop, the actuator is an essential element and the characterization of its operations and its effect on the flow control is required to establish effective control laws. Among the technologies employed, the fluidic actuators, whose synthetic jet is a part, have the advantage of having no moving parts in direct contact with the outside flow and allow simple control of the temporal form of excitement imposed. To characterize the synthetic jet in a quiescent environment, numerical and experimental studies are conducted. The experimental study uses two techniques of measurement: the hot-wire anemometry and the PIV. A comparison of the behavior of synthetic jet with other types of jet (continuous jet and pulsed jet) is done. The influence of a synthetic jet on the boundary layer of a wall jet whose flow direction is normal to the axis of synthetic jet is then studied. This wall jet is first plan and then presents a flow separation resulting from a forced rupture a few millimeters downstream of the synthetic jet actuator. The interaction of two adjacent synthetic jets, and the effects of miniaturization are finely the subject of a numerical study because their effects can be very important in the case of the establishment of an array of micro-actuators on a surface ( airplane wing, for example) on which we want to control the separation

Full textIn this project, a new architecture of an air-driven micropump prototype with self-actuating microvalves is presented. A finite element model is also presented. Fabrication and characterization of the system and the electronic control of the micro-pump was also introduced. The designed micropump was able to generate a flow rate of 9 µL/min. Pumping pressure was 1500 Pa. Frequency of membrane deformation was 1.25 Hz and its maximum deformation was 3.66 µm. Finite element modeling shows that the flow rate ratio between the admission and delivery phase was 99.99 %. Fabrication of the micropump was achieved through two processes. First, a manual molding for microvalves with cylindrical and cubic chambers whose external dimensions was 8 mm x 12 mm x 6 mm and actuation membrane thickness of 20 µm. The entire system, including the membrane, was made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Second, in collaboration with the department of mechanical engineering, a new printing process based on sugar glass was also used. The latter is based on the 3D printing of a sugar mold. The mold is dissolved after the pouring and curing of PDMS. The actuating chambers of the micropump wetre cylindrical with a diameter of 4 mm and a height of 1 mm. The pumping chamber was also cylindrical with the same diameter but with a height of 0.5 mm. The thickness of the pumping membranes was 250 µm. Through this process, the entire pumping system (expect microvalves) were fabricated as a one block to eliminate leakage and reduce system dimensions. The external dimensions of the micropump was 20 mm x 20 mm x 10 mm. Experimental results of the micro-pump showed that the flow rate that can be generated is 7 µL/min. The electrical power consumption of the system was 114 mW. Finally, the microvalve can resist to a back pressure up to 13 psi. A graphical interface to control the actuation part of the micropump using an FPGA has also been developed.

Nous espérons ainsi exploiter la flexibilité d'une technologie multi-matériaux pour regrouper des composants variés qui mettent en œuvre plusieurs effets physico-chimiques

Full textThe field of bioanalytical chemistry is currently undergoing rapid development. Trends toward more precise characterization, high-throughput analysis and greater levels of automation collectively offer the promise of systems that can deliver deeper insights into living biological systems. Biofilms are widespread in most ecosystems. They can be formed by most microorganisms. Microbial biofilms are multicellular communities of bacteria, adhering to a surface, surrounded by an extracellular polymeric matrix (EPM). Because they are natural, bacterial biofilms are increasingly being studied and used for applications in biocatalysis, self-healing and as systems that can function effectively under ambient conditions. The main factors controlling biofilm development and its mature properties are the applied hydrodynamic conditions and nutrient concentrations. The mechanical properties of the EPM can be customized based on its environment. Additionally, the existence of different functional chemical groups within biofilm makes it possible to trap organic molecules and dissolved ions. This PhD thesis focus on developing a system-level technique that enables flexibility and precision in the growth and detection of biofilms from Pseudomonas sp. CT07 bacteria. The analytical system is multi-modal, in order to obtain information on biofilm chemical and structure properties. To this end, optical microscopy and attenuated total reflection (ATR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy have been coupled into one coordinated analytical system with microfluidic channels to control the growth conditions of biofilms. To achieve this goal, a home-built ATR-FTIR stage was developed for probing different locations on top of ATR crystal. The methodologies developed in this thesis can be applied to other complex analytical systems in the future. The combination of microfluidics for precise flow control as well as multiplexed measurements in parallel microchannel is the key to obtaining important and statistically relevant clues to the growth of biofilms and the methods to control them.

Full textThe quantitative detection of specific cells is usually carried out by flow cytometry due to its high sensitivity and reliability, however, this technique is not suited for routine screening and point-of-care diagnostics. Electrochemical methods, as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have gained interest mainly due to a label-free detection and their miniaturization capability required for integration on chip. Furthermore, recent advances in microfabrication based technologies have allowed to develop micron-sized electrodes whose main advantages over conventional electrodes are higher impedances due to smaller currents and the possibility of being integrated inside microfluidic channels. The aim of the present work was the realization and the optimization of microfluidic devices with improved sensitivity targeting the immuno-trapping and counting of pro-inflammatory monocytes as infection markers. Taking into account the influence of the surface coverage on the sensitivity, different geometries were tested. The best sensitivities and reproducibility were recorded in the case of interdigitated micro-electrodes with weak inter-electrodes gap (50 µm). Moreover, experiments carried out with different surfaces demonstrated that there was a threshold beyond which a surface is exploitable for a given slice of concentration. Such microfluidic devices allowed to reach a detection limit around 10 cells/mL. Furthermore, due to the high sensitivity recorded, the devices were also tested to detect ligand binding by cell receptors. These studies have allowed to demonstrate the interaction of CHO-A2a with c-di-AMP for low cell concentrations

Full textTo increase the performance of our electronic components, manufacturers are using new materials such as rare earth elements (REE). Despite their name, the REE are present in quantity on Earth but in a diluted way in the ores extracted. The extraction of these elements is little carried out in Europe but mainly in Asia where the chemical processes of separations employed are sometimes not very respectful of the environment. Moreover European manufacturers are economically constrained by the Asian market for the purchase of these raw materials. On the other hand, Europe has a large quantity of electronic waste containing the elements of interest. Recycling processes are therefore essential to reduce our economic dependence and meet the needs of a circular economy. Recycling processes such as, for example, liquid-liquid extraction already exist, but the diversity of the present waste requires to adapt the process according to the batch of waste in order to improve the yield. But the optimization of a process requires experiments that can take several years. The aim of the thesis is to find innovative ways to reduce the time needed to study a liquid-liquid extraction system from a few years to a few weeks. For this the domain needs a dedicated instrumentation that can analyse processes automatically and quickly. The work of this thesis is focused on the development of a microfluidic liquid-liquid extraction device associated with two main online analysis techniques. The first analytical technique is based on an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method to determine the extraction performance. The second method is based on Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) in order to study the activity of solvents (aqueous and organic), informing about extraction mechanisms

Full textLab on a Chip technology has been developed since the 90’s. These micro-devices are dedicated to perform complex laboratory operation on small scale. Among many others, detection sensitivity of the devices has to be increased. Indeed, the sample volume reduction leads to important detection difficulties for both electrical and optical measurement methods. To solve this problem, a new class of devices, coupling optic and fluidic components and so called optofluidic devices, has been developed. In this context, experiments done during this doctoral thesis focused on the realisation of dye laser sources embedded on a microfluidic chip. Several configurations of microfluidic dye lasers were tested and characterized accurately. Changing the design of the fluidic circuitry, an intra-cavity absorption measurement device was developed.

Full textFormaldehyde (HCHO) is a major pollutant in indoor air. The objective of this work is to realize the scientific and technological advances required to obtain an analytical method based on a microfluidic device to measure air formaldehyde combining precision, selectivity, analysis speed with for major objective a sufficient autonomy on a long time, typically one month. The principle of the method was initially based on three key steps, the gaseous formaldehyde uptake in solution, the formaldehyde derivatization reaction, then the detection of reaction product by colorimetry or fluorimetry. The method has finally advanced toward only two definite steps thanks to the use of an innovative microfluidic device in which uptake and reaction take place simultaneously. The study of analytical performances of the device allows to validate the method developedduring this work

Full textOver the past two decades, studies have been conducted to measure the mechanical forces exerted by living cells on their environment. This has led to the development of a variety of ingenious techniques that have been primarily developed to understand how cells exert forces during their migration on 2D substrates. However, in vivo, cells migrate through three-dimensional (3D) environments and the mechanisms used to migrate in 3D differ significantly from those of 2D migration. For example, confined cells in 3D encountering constrictions need to deform their nucleus, their largest and most rigid organelle. In 2D, kernels are not limiting factors for migration. It is therefore necessary to develop tools to understand how cells migrate in 3D. In particular, studies need to be conducted to determine how cells apply forces based on the level of containment they encounter. To answer this difficult question, we have developed two types of micro-devices. First, we designed and manufactured a microfluidic device to study the forces generated by cells during a confined migration. This device consists of microchannels of controlled dimensions equipped with micropiliers, serving as force sensors. These force sensors have a sensitivity of the order of 70 pN. We then introduced into the device human macrophages, cells of the immune system, inside the device and evaluated the bending of micropiliers generated by the cellular forces applied during their migration. Through the development of an algorithm for image analysis, we have been able to evaluate the forces generated in different cell areas and reveal that cells are redirecting pressure forces from the inside to the outside as the degree of containment increases. This observation suggests a very specific mode of migration related to spatial confinement that is based on the support without adhesion on the obstacles of the environment. In a second time we made three-dimensional networks obtained by a 3D bi-photonic lithography method. Les motifs de ces réseaux possèdent des dimensions caractéristiques de l'échelle cellulaire (1-10 μm) et sont composés de poutres suspendues qui peuvent être courbés par les cellules vivantes qui migrent au sein du treillis tri-dimensionnel. En enregistrant une séquence vidéo des déformations de l'échafaudage, nous pouvons étudier l'activité mécanique de la cellule dans l'espace et le temps pendant sa migration 3D. Nos résultats montrent que les macrophages sont capables de pénétrer dans des réseaux de géométrie cubique lorsque la période du réseau est supérieure à 5 μm et que le support de migration lui-même peut être utilisé comme capteur pour mesurer les forces exercées par les cellules. Grâce à la mesure de la rigidité du matériau constituant le treillis 3D et des modélisations de la déformation élastique de la structure 3D, nous avons pu évaluer que la contrainte mécanique globale qu’exerce un macrophage sur son microenvironnement est de l’ordre de 500 kPa. Grâce à la combinaison de la microfabrication, l'imagerie cellulaire et l'analyse automatisée des images, nous sommes parvenus à quantifier les efforts mécaniques cellulaires mis en jeu lors de la migration de macrophages humains au sein d’environnements confinés et nous mettons ainsi en lumière la mécanique spécifique des cellules migrant en 3D

Full textDetecting trace biomolecules remains one of the current challenges for biochips. Nanofluidic devices appear today as a promising way to simultaneously concentrate and detect biomolecules. This electropreconcentration is possible thanks to the selective permeability of the fluidic nanoslit, which behaves under electric field as a molecular selective "super-filter". This nanofilter makes it possible to trap the analytes upstream or downstream of the slot, in one or the other of the reservoirs (anodic or cathodic). During this Ph.D., I developed and studied nanofluidic devices based on two different geometries: single horizontal nanoslits and vertical nanochannel arrays, in a barcode geometry. For horizontal nanoslits, I studied the evolution of the conductance as a function of the ionic strength and the nanoslit geometry. Based on a pressure-assisted electro-preconcentration protocol, I have established "electric field/ pressure" diagrams allowing predicting stabilization of a focal point where the analytes will concentrate. I have studied the role of the nanoslit length for two model molecules, fluorescein and ovalbumin. For barcode devices, I developed both a nanostructuration process by electron beam nanolithography coupled with deep etching and a glass-glass bonding protocol. The electroconcentration profils obtained for different nanofentes is discussed based on different dynamic barcodes

Full textThis thesis focus on the implementation of a microfluidic based micro-extractor which can perform on-line :extraction-detection of target molecules flowing in a carrier liquid. The system comprises a primary micro channel , containing a flowing aqueous carrier liquid and a secondary immiscible organic storage fluid in an adjacent hannel. The biphasic interface is stabilized by vertical micro-pillars. The fabrication of the device is described and followed by the theoretical and experimental study on the interfacial fluidic stabilization. The results were used for the application of liquid-liquid extraction of lead (Pb2+) from water D an organic solvent phase. The pre-concentration of lead ion is coupled with the in-situ detection using an ntegrated UV -VIS spectrophotometer

Full textThe development of reliable and predictive in vitro methods is a real challenge. Indeed, the demand for alternative methods to animal experimentation has been growing in recent years due to the introduction of legislation limiting the use of these models in vivo by ethical considerations. Moreover, this need was amplified by regulations such as the European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) requiring the safety validation of many substances. However, the conventional in vitro model consisting in a simple cell culture monolayer in Petri dishes does not preserve the initial properties of these cells and does not mimic the conditions of the cellular environment and organs in vivo. The development of alternative in vitro predictive methods is crucial especially to mimic the working of two organs: the intestine and liver. Indeed, these two organs are involved in the process of Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) of most xenobiotics ingested.We propose in this thesis to test the feasibility of one of these in vitro alternative methods allowing the association between an intestinal barrier and the dynamic culture of hepatic cells in microsystems in a device called IIDMP (Integrated Dynamic Insert in a Microfluidic Platform). We tested the influence of the flow of culture and possible interactions between intestinal and liver cells on the function and metabolic activity of these two cell types.Then, we demonstrated that : - This device is reliable in terms of global functionality (fluid, robustness ...).- This device did not injury the integrity of the cell line and primary cells.- The use of this device has many advantages when compared with the use of conventional in vitro models, especially with cells line.- The use of this device highlights phenomena of interaction between hepatic and intestinal cells as an increase of the CYP1A2 activity of HepG2 C3A and human primary hepatocytes

Full textIn this work, a continuous microfluidic device was developed to perform the synthesis ofpoly(acrylic acid) in supercritical CO2 (15 MPa and 75°C). This high pressure resistantdevice allows generating segmented flows in microcanal: an aqueous solution of monomerwas dispersed in a mixture of ethanol in CO2 containing initiator AIBN. The distribution ofdifferent components in this biphasic system has been determined by IR spectroscopyaccording to the pressure and the temperature. The thermal decomposition of AIBN indifferent reaction media has been investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy. During thereaction, the droplets were used as reservoirs which insure the transfer of monomer to thecontinuous phase. Because of this rapid transfer compared to the reaction conversion, thepolymerization reaction was carried out continuously with a constant molar ratio betweenmonomer and initiator throughout the residence time (up to 41 min). It has been showed thata large range of molecular weights of poly(acrylic acid) (20 000 and 120 000 g.mol-1) withlow polydispersity index (1.35 à 1.70) can be obtained by just changing the initial monomerconcentration in the droplets. The effect of other parameters influencing the properties ofpoly(acrylic acid) as well as the locus of polymerization have been discussed

Full textA lab-on-a-chip aims at integrating on a miniaturized substrate one or several laboratory functions. This miniaturization of elementary functions has major advantages to design portable systems, to control precisely the experimental conditions or to reduce the environmental impact of industrial activities. In most of these microsystems, it is necessary to actuate a small amount of chemical or biological fluid under the form of droplets. In particular, it is often necessary to move, divide atomize or mix these small quantities of fluids. Surface Acoustic Wave actuators allow to perform all these elementary operations. They rely on the nonlinear interaction of a surface wave and a liquid. However a precise understanding of the underlying physics is still missing, hence restraining a widespread use of these microsystems. We present, in this thesis, a theorical and experimental study of the oscillation and the displacement of a droplet under a surface acoustic wave excitation. In the first part, we describe the droplet dynamics and nonlinear energy transfers that occur during actuation. The second part of the manuscript is dedicated to the development of a weakly nonlinear model to study parametric response of a droplet to periodic excitation. In a third part, the influence of the gravity is shown through the comparison of pendant and sessile droplet dynamics. A competition beetwen acoustic forces and gravity appears when tilting the experimental device and allow us to observe new droplet dynamics. In the last part of the manuscript, the free surface drop deformations generated by surface acoustic waves, are used to viably sort cells based on their adhesion properties

Full textThis work is based on the development of technological, experimental and theoretical tools dedicated to the study of the surface charge developing at the liquid-solid interface of micro and nanofluidic devices. The control of electrokinetic phenomena involved in most of electrophoretic separation processes was also investigated from a chemical and physical point of view in order to provide new routes for the design of “smart” electrophoretic separation devices. A plateform dedicated to the measurement of electro-osmotic flows (EOFs) was achieved on the basis of an analogy between microfluidics and electronics: the microFluidic Wheatstone Bridge (µFWB). This indirect method enabled us to study the stability issues of the Glass-water interface. In order to control the surface charge, two strategies were confronted: (i) chemically, the influence of acido-basic pretreatments on the hysteresis of glass surface was investigated and multilayer of poly-electrolytes were deposited as surface charge stabilizer; (ii) Physically, conducting polarisable interfaces were used to directly fix the surface potential at the liquid interface (Flow-FETs). This original structure enables to control the surface charge and the EOF dynamically for a wide range of biological buffers. At the nanoscale, our study focused on the electro-preconcentration phenomena through experimental and numerical works. The role of surface charge on preconcentration rate efficiency was highlighted through 1D finite element calculations; this study also enabled us to provide a global understanding of the various preconcentration regimes observed in the literature. Beyond this fundamental study, novel tools were proposed to improve electrophoretic analysis of biological species

Full textOver the past decades, Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) have demonstrated strong potential as new biomarkers for liquid biopsy. Indeed, since EVs are fingerprints of parent cells, they can be exploited as early diagnostic tools. However, owing to their small size and high heterogeneity, EVs are challenging to extract from biofluids. In particular, reproducible and standardized protocols are required to perform fast, efficient, and cost-effective preparation of undamaged EV subpopulations from limited sample volumes. Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) appears to be a promising microfluidic technology for this preparation by means of passive and label-free separation. DLD performs size-based separation of particles around a critical diameter that can be fine-tuned according to design parameters in an array of micropillars. Across the numerous biotechnological applications of DLD, none has yet successfully performed the complete extraction of EVs from unprocessed biofluids. This is the underlying motivation of this thesis, which outlines technological enhancements that make DLD separation more predictable, efficient, and easy-to-integrate. Based on both numerical and experimental developments, predictive models are proposed in order to anticipate particle behavior and to help in the design of efficient DLD devices. In addition to the optimization of single DLD devices, this thesis also addresses the issue of system integration. An innovative approach of serial connection between DLD modules is proposed to address the sequential sorting of particles from a complex biofluid and ensure that there is no loss of function of individual DLD devices when operated alone or in series. Two biological applications illustrate the potential of DLD-based sample preparation systems: the isolation of E. coli bacteria from human blood samples for sepsis diagnostics and the extraction of EVs from cell culture media with the perspective of liquid biopsy applications. And as sample preparation cannot be dissociated from detection or characterization, this thesis moreover highlights the potential integration of DLD in an all-in-one microfluidic device for both sample preparation and analysis of extracted EVs. Such a portable and autonomous device could overcome some of the current limitations with regard to the clinical use of EVs

Full textIn this thesis, we present a new experimental set up for the separation of micron-sized species suspended in a Hele-Shaw cell, using an acoustic force field. We describe theoretically the acoustic force generated on micron-sized objects by a plane standing wave. We show how the use of a digital holographic microscope allows us to visualize in situ the migration of the species across the channel thickness caused by the presence of an ultrasonic wave. We characterize the acoustic force dependence versus frequency and demonstrate the existence of resonance frequencies for which a standing wave is established in the canal, resulting in the focalization of the objects on the nodes of the pressure wave. Focusing experiments of latex particles allow us to determine the value of the average acoustic energy in this channel. We carry a theoretical model of acoustic separation and describe its experimental implementation on latex particles, then vesicles. The study of particle distributions in situ shows the device's ability to perform fast binary separations and with an excellent efficiency. The results of preliminary experiments on vesicles are presented, and show a promising enrichment of the sample. We show that it is possible to separate the blood cells through our separator

Full textThis work consists to bring a different approach based on physics to study the respiratory diseases.First, study of mucociliary dynamics with an application on severe asthma and COPD was investigated. We have described the physical mechanisms of mucus transport based on the detailed analysis of ciliary activity on an in vitro reconstituted epithelium obtained from human endo-bronchial biopsies. We have shown that the distance at which mucus or Newtonian fluid could be transported is directly dependent on the epithelium coverage rate by the active cilia tufts. Then, we raised the important role of the viscoelastic mucus on the coordination of the ciliary beat direction for a macroscopic transport. The cilia beat frequency plays on transport fluid velocity. Finally, we have shown that altered clearance observed in severe asthma and COPD is due to the drastic lack of cilia, while the rheological properties of mucus remains unchanged in our model.The second part of this work was to look at cell migration in a bio-mimetic 3D environment. We have developed a micro-device for characterization of cell migration by chemotaxis. We validated the model using immune cells under a chemo-attractant substances gradients and a first test of inflammatory role has been completed

Full textThis work deals with SAW/Liquid interaction. We want to evaluate the potentiality of a microfluidic system based on surface acoustic waves. This system was carried out on a LiNbO3 piezoelectric substrate, cut Y+128° X-propagating. We used clean room traditional techniques to reveal the interdigited transducers (IDTs). In order to minimize the required force to actuate a droplet, we have optimised plasma process to deposit fluorinated carbon films. The coating which presents the lowest sliding force was deposited at (400 mT, 100 W). Then, we have investigated the phenomena induced by the SAW/Liquid interaction. By PIV method, we have visualized the flow trajectory within the droplet and determined the streaming velocity as function of fluid viscosity and electrical power. Next, we have measured the droplet displacement velocity as function of volume and viscosity. Finally, we have shown important heating effects, related to the attenuation of the surface elastic waves at the Solid/Liquid interface. These analyses were carried out with an IR camera and reveal that a 20µl droplet with sufficient viscosity can be heated above 80°C. To conclude, our surface acoustic wave device presents a real potential as “microfluidic tool”. Indeed, numerous applications, such as atomisation system, micro-nanodispenser, actuator, mixer, thermocycler can be achieve by this device
