Abstract:
A microfluidic control apparatus operating method is disclosed. The microfluidic control apparatus operating method is applied in a microfluidic control apparatus, and the microfluidic control apparatus includes a photoconductive material layer and a flow passage. The microfluidic control apparatus operating method includes steps of (a) when a light with a specific optical pattern is emitted toward the photoconductive material layer, at least three virtual electrodes being formed on the photoconductive material layer according to the specific optical pattern; (b) when the specific optical pattern changes, the at least three virtual electrodes also changing to generate an electro-osmotic force to control a moving state of a microfluid in the flow passage.
Abstract:
A cell mobility characteristics sensing apparatus including a laser light source, a light sensor, an analyzing chip, and a display is disclosed. The laser light source emits laser beams to a cell sample. The light sensor senses scattered laser beams formed by the cell sample scattering the laser beams at a plurality of time points to obtain a plurality of laser scattering patterns corresponding to the plurality of time points respectively. The analyzing chip obtains a laser scattering pattern fluctuations information of the plurality of laser scattering patterns varied with the plurality of time points to estimate the mobility characteristics of the cells in the cell sample. The display shows the mobility characteristics of the cells in the cell sample estimated by the analyzing chip.
