Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate characterization of monoclonal antibody (mAb) solutions is crucial for biopharmaceutical development.
  • Traditional rheometry methods for measuring solution properties can be time-consuming and require large sample volumes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel microfluidic system for high-throughput microrheology measurements of mAb solutions.
  • To enable precise temperature control and in situ measurements for viscosity determination.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized microfluidic stickers as a sample environment for microrheology.
  • Implemented and validated a Peltier-based microscope stage for temperature control (0.9–40°C).
  • Employed a sucrose solution standard for in situ temperature calibration via the Stokes-Einstein-Sutherland relation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully measured microrheology of mAb solutions using the microfluidic sticker platform.
  • Achieved high-throughput analysis, enabling up to 72 temperature-concentration viscosity measurements per day.
  • Demonstrated the system's capability to control temperature and mitigate environmental factors like condensation.

Conclusions:

  • Microfluidic stickers combined with microrheology offer a powerful tool for characterizing mAb solutions.
  • This method significantly enhances throughput for viscosity measurements compared to conventional rheometry.
  • The validated system provides a robust platform for biophysical characterization under controlled conditions.
