Abstract: A microfluidic device and a method for dissociating and manipulating cells or particles in a microfluidic channel are disclosed. The microfluidic device includes an inlet, an outlet, and a microfluidic channel arranged on a substrate between the inlet and the outlet. The microfluidic device includes a first set of piezoelectric actuators arranged adjacent to the inlet channel and configured to dissociate particles of a fluidic sample in the microfluidic channel. The microfluidic device includes a second set of piezoelectric actuators arranged between the inlet channel and the outlet channel and configured to manipulate the particles of the fluidic sample as the particles move through the microfluidic channel. The microfluidic device includes a third set of piezoelectric actuators arranged above the outlet channel, adjacent to the outlet, and configured to eject a portion of the fluidic sample out of the microfluidic channel via the outlet.

Abstract: A system for classifying individual particles includes a microfluidic device and an electronic device. The microfluidic device includes a microfluidic channel arranged on a first substrate, an optical or magnetic sensing zone arranged along a first portion of the microfluidic channel, and an electrical sensing zone arranged along a second portion of the microfluidic channel. The system obtains a plurality of impedance values corresponding to a plurality of sample particles of a target sample, and inputs the plurality of impedance values into a first target particle classification model. The system applies, locally in the electronic device, the first target particle classification model to the plurality of impedance values to determine a respective particle type classification for each particle of the plurality of sample particles.
