Abstract
A flow-through microfluidic apparatus for cell treatment is provided, including a flow chamber and a three-dimensional (3D) microelectrode array disposed in the flow chamber to produce electrical fields for cell railing, electroporation and/or sorting. The flow chamber includes a sample flow region, a first sheath flow region and a second sheath flow region. The sample flow region has an input allowing a sample flow of cells and exogenous agents to enter the sample flow region, a first output allowing damaged cells to exit from the flow chamber. Viable target cells are dielectrophoretic railed along the plurality of 3D microelectrode units; railing cells are electroporated through electrical treatment to intake/uptake of an exogenous agent; and viable treated cells loaded with exogenous agent are dielectrophoretically sorted from cells damaged during the cell treatment.
