Abstract

This paper demonstrates a microfluidic platform for central entrapment of single cell per well in an array of rectangular microwells, enabled by in situ air plugs formation. Reversible thermal bonding of two polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers was shown to be sufficient in withstanding sequential flow of fluids at various flow rates. This work aim to isolate single T cells, within central regions of rectangular microwells, for multiplex cytokine detection.
