Stem cell separation microfluidics1

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Stem cell separation microfluidics1

Researchers Todd McDevitt and Andres Garcia (l-r) hold microfluidic devices that are used to separate stem cells produced by cell reprogramming techniques. The devices exploit the differences in adhesion strength between derived stem cells and contaminating cell types in a heterogeneous culture to selectively isolate cells of interest using fluid shear forces.
