Flow Cytometry01:23

Flow Cytometry

The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Physics
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Theoretical Chemistry

Background:

  • Understanding polymer behavior in confined geometries is crucial for various applications.
  • Fluid flow significantly impacts polymer dynamics, leading to phenomena like depletion.
  • Existing models often lack the ability to capture the interplay of flow and confinement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical model for predicting dynamic polymer depletion under fluid flow in a slit geometry.
  • To investigate the influence of solvent conditions (Θ- and good-solvents) on polymer concentration profiles.
  • To analyze the effect of flow rate, characterized by the Peclet number, on polymer depletion.

Main Methods:

  • Combining the two-fluid model and self-consistent field theory.
  • Deriving an analytic expression for steady-state polymer concentration profiles in Θ-solvents for weak flow and narrow slits.
  • Computing the time evolution of concentration profiles for various flow rates in both Θ- and good-solvents.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully predicts dynamic polymer depletion under fluid flow.
  • An analytic expression for steady-state concentration profiles was derived for specific conditions.
  • The time evolution of concentration profiles was computed, showing the interplay of depletion, solvent quality, slit width, and flow strength.

Conclusions:

  • The developed theoretical model provides insights into polymer depletion dynamics in flowing systems.
  • Polymer depletion is significantly influenced by the interplay of fluid flow, solvent conditions, and geometric confinement.
  • The findings are relevant for designing and optimizing processes involving polymer solutions in microfluidic devices.
