The ability to sort cells by type or physical properties is a valuable tool in many synthetic biology labs. Prior to analysis or in order to perform specialised protocols, creating homogenous cell suspensions from a mixture is necessary. In addition to sorting cells, the removal of cell fragments, activated magnetic particles or unwanted debris through sorting also makes up a key part of purification protocols.

Ligation is a commonly used protocol in synthetic biology. In molecular cloning ligation is the process by which external DNA is inserted into a vector DNA, often a plasmid, using the enzyme DNA ligase. The newly formed DNA, or recombinant DNA, can then be analyzed or transformed.

This microfluidic chip design carries out cell sorting as a cell suspension is passed through it. Cells are sorted based on size and pushed to the periphery of the channel. These cells are then carried away from the main solution through the two periphery outputs, and the cell-free solution can be collected from the central output.

This microfluidic chip is designed to perform ligation. T4 DNA Ligase Buffer, vector DNA, insert DNA, water, and T4 DNA Ligase are metered on the chip and are then mixed together. The solution then undergoes incubation, after which the recombinant DNA solution can pipetted out from the chip and used in further molecular cloning procedures

Ligation

Summary

Ligation is a commonly used protocol in synthetic biology. In molecular cloning ligation is the process by which external DNA is inserted into a vector DNA, often a plasmid, using the enzyme DNA ligase. The newly formed DNA, or recombinant DNA, can then be analyzed or transformed.
This microfluidic chip is designed to perform ligation. T4 DNA Ligase Buffer, vector DNA, insert DNA, water, and T4 DNA Ligase are metered on the chip and are then mixed together. The solution then undergoes incubation, after which the recombinant DNA solution can pipetted out from the chip and used in further molecular cloning procedures
