Microfluidic Chip of X-Sperm and Y-Sperm Separation by Property and QCM

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this research, we try to extend the application of bio-chip that basic on our MEMS laboratory like sperm separation for IVF(In Vitro Fertilization). At the past research, many properties of sperm had been observed by academic. The difference between X-sperm and Y-sperm are not only DNA but also like speed of motilitymorphologyweightPH value.[1] Those properties all could be able to promote sperm separation and add to our design for bio-chip. Finally, the end of micro channel had made a DEP-QCM device that was our MEMS laboratory research achievement in the past year. The DEP-QCM device can trapped micro particles or cells and determined weight by the changes of frequency. On the other hand, we also used simulation software on PC to analysis the flow field and electric field for our design.
