Pei-Yu (Eric) Chiou, Associate Professor, University of California-Los Angeles

Prof. Eric P. Y. Chiou received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department from the University of California at Berkeley in 2005. He received his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering Department in the University of California at Los Angeles and B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering Department from National Taiwan University in Taiwan. He joined the University of California at Los Angeles in 2006. He is now an associate professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department and Bioengineering Department. His research interests are in optofluidics, laser surgery, biophotonics, nanophotonics, and Lab-on-Chip systems. He received the NSF CAREER award in 2008.

Microfluidic-based fluorescence activated cell sorters (µFACS) have several advantages over conventional electrostatic-droplet-based cell sorters. A closed detection and sorting environment prevents aerosols that can potentially contaminate equipment, personnel, and subsequent sorting experiments. Although various on-chip µFACS mechanisms have been demonstrated, sorting live mammalian cells at high speeds with high sort purity and cell viability remains a challenge. Slow cell switching mechanisms and large fluid perturbation volumes are the two major factors limiting the throughput and purity of current microfluidic FACS devices. This talk presents a microfluidic based, high-speed and high-purity pulsed laser activated cell sorter termed PLACS which utilizes small volume liquid jets induced by pulse laser triggered cavitation bubbles for sample switching. A sorting throughput up to 23000 cells/sec with 90% sorting purity and 90% cell viability has been accomplished in a single microfluidic channel in a single stage.
