Microfluidic technology for cellular analysis and molecular biotechnology

Sun, Chen 04 March 2016 (has links)
Microfluidics, the manipulation of fluids at nanoliter scale, has emerged to offer an ideal platform for biological analysis of a low number of cells. The technological advances in microfluidics have allowed both forming of valves, mixers and pumps and integrating of optic and electronic components into microfluidic devices to construct complete and functional systems. In this dissertation, I present novel microfluidic techniques and their applications in cellular probes delivery, cell separation and epigenetic study. In the first part of the dissertation, electroporation is implemented on microfluidic platform to generate uniform delivery of "exposed" nanoparticle or protein into cells. In contrast to endocytosis, electroporation is a physical method to breach cell membrane and does not involve vesicle encapsulation of delivered probes, which means these probes have exposed surface in the cytosol. Such trait enables the use of delivered nanoparticle and protein for intracellular targeting of native biomolecules. Laser-induced fluorescent microscopy was used for single particle illuminating to track single molecules in cells. Microfluidic device provide integrated platform for conducting electroporation, cell culture and imaging. In the second part, microfluidic immunomagnetic cell separation is introduced. I showed two new approaches to enhance immunomagnetic cell separation based on (1) uniquely microfabricated paramagnetic patterns inside separation channels; and (2) using combination of nonmagnetic beads and magnetic beads for selection of tumor initiating cells based on two markers of opposite preference in one step. Enhancement in cell isolation (high capture efficiency or high selection purity) is experimentally observed and the former is explained by computational model. In the final part of the dissertation, microfluidic device incorporating valves and mixers for sensitive study of chromosome conformation is presented. This device has small reaction chamber minimizing sample requirement, and allows multiple steps of biological analysis in a single chip avoiding sample loss during sample transfer. Several orders of magnitude improved detection sensitivity is achieved with our microfluidics based method. I envision all novel techniques discussed in this dissertation have great potential in application of disease prognosis, diagnosis and treatment. / Ph. D.

Métodos de recuperação e estimativa de viabilidade de cistos de Giardia spp. e oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em resíduos do tratamento de água de consumo / Recovery methods and viability assessment of Giardia spp. e oocistos cysts and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in water treatment residues

Esta pesquisa comparou a incorporação de iodeto de propídio (IP) com a avaliação simultânea de corantes indicativos de danificação em membrana e atividade enzimática (Live/Dead Cell Assay®) para a estimar a viabilidade de cistos de Giardia muris e oocistos de Cryptosporidium parvum. Além disso, foram testados métodos de recuperação de (oo)cistos em amostras de lodo e água de lavagem de filtros (ALF) geradas em escala de bancada, simulando tratamento de água por ciclo completo com decantação. Dentre os métodos estudados para a detecção de G. muris e C. parvum inoculados em amostras de lodo, destacou-se a floculação com sulfato férrico, seguida de separação imunomagnética (IMS). Realizou-se, portanto, ensaio de qualidade analítica com ColorSeedTM, para este método, tendo atendido ao requerido pelo Método 1623.1 da USEPA (2012) para Giardia spp. (32,25%; CV=9,00%), mas não tendo sido suficiente para Cryptostoridium spp. (11,00%; CV=47,67%). O teste com ColorSeedTM em amostras de ALF reproduziu o procedimento de filtração em membrana (FM) com raspagem utilizando Tween® 80 (45°C, 0,1%) seguido de IMS, tendo atendido ao Método 1623.1 para Giardia spp. (13,00%, CV=19,61%), mas não tendo sido suficiente para Cryptostoridium spp. (2,00%; CV=93,54%). Optou-se por este procedimento na avaliação de qualidade analítica, pois o inóculo prévio de suspensões comerciais seguido de recuperação por FM sem IMS superou 100% para C. parvum, devido à utilização de fator de multiplicação. O desempenho do Live/Dead Cell Assay® sobre suspensões comerciais de (oo)cistos foi subjetivo, sobretudo para visualização de organismos enzimaticamente ativos, de modo que optou-se pela inclusão de IP como parâmetro para estimar o efeito dos métodos de recuperação sobre a viabilidade. Em função da baixa recuperação e fluorescência de G. muris, a incorporação de IP foi avaliada apenas em C. parvum. Os resultados reiteraram a dificuldade na recuperação de protozoários em lodo e ALF e o fato de que as particularidades destes procedimentos analíticos podem prejudicar a interpretação de dados de viabilidade. / This study compared the incorporation of propidium iodide (PI) with the simultaneous evaluation of dyes that indicate both membrane damage and enzymatic activity (Live/Dead Cell Assay®) to assess the viability of Giardia muris cysts and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. In addition, methods of recovering protozoan cysts and oocysts from sludge and filter backwash water (FBW) samples generated on bench scale, simulating conventional water treatment with decantation, were tested. Among the studied methods for detection of G. muris and C. parvum spiked into sludge samples, ferric sulphate flocculation followed by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) lead to higher recoveries. An analytical quality assay was therefore carried out with ColorSeedTM having met the USEPA Method 1623.1 (2012) recommendation for Giardia spp. (32.25%, CV=9.00%) but not for Cryptostoridium spp. (11.00%, CV = 47.67%). The quality assay test for FBW samples replicated the membrane filtration (MF) procedure using Tween® 80 (45 °C, 0.1%) followed by IMS, having complied with Method 1623.1 for Giardia spp. (13.00%, CV=19.61%) but again not for Cryptostoridium spp. (2.00%; CV=93.54%). This procedure was chosen for the analytical quality exam, since the previous inoculum of commercial suspensions followed by MF without IMS exceeded 100% recovery for C. parvum, due to the use of a multiplication factor. The Live/Dead Cell Assay® performance on commercial suspensions of cysts and oocysts was subjective, especially for visualizing enzymatically active organisms, thus PI inclusion was chosen as the parameter to estimate the effect of recovery methods on the organisms\' viability. Due to the low recovery and poor fluorescence of G. muris, IP inclusion was evaluated only in C. parvum. The results reiterated the difficulty in the recovery of protozoa from sludge and FBW and the possibility of these analytical procedures hinder the interpretation of cysts and oocysts viability.

Avaliação e tratamento da água de lavagem dos filtros e dos resíduos sedimentados gerados pela tecnologia de ciclo completo contendo oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. e cistos de Giardia spp. / Evaluation and treatment of water treatment plants backwashing water and sedimented residue with Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts and Giardia spp. cysts

Ogura, Allan Pretti 27 February 2018 (has links)
Os oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. e os cistos de Giardia spp. podem gerar doenças de veiculação hídrica associadas a problemas de saúde pública. Os (oo)cistos são de difícil remoção e inativação durante o tratamento de água, principalmente devido ao tamanho reduzido e à resistência ao processo de cloração. Além disso, os métodos de detecção de protozoários na água apresentam elevado custo e estão sujeitos à grande variabilidade e à baixa reprodutibilidade, especialmente em águas de elevada turbidez. Com água de estudo com turbidez de aproximadamente 110 uT, ensaios de tratabilidade com cloreto de polialumínio foram feitos em jarteste para a obtenção da água de lavagem dos filtros (ALF) e do resíduo sedimentado. O método escolhido para detecção de (oo)cistos foi a centrifugação direta com adição de solução de dispersão ICN 7X seguido de IMS com duas dissociações ácidas (CD + ICN 7X). O tratamento dos resíduos objetivou a inativação dos (oo)cistos, por meio de danos à estrutura celular dos parasitos, identificada pela incorporação do corante iodeto de propídio no microrganismo. Para o método CD + ICN 7X, menor interferência na viabilidade dos (oo)cistos foi observada em relação à floculação em carbonato de cálcio e melhor recuperação do que a centrifugação direta. O controle de qualidade analítica desse método, feito com suspensão do kit EasySeed®, apresentou recuperação de 2,8±0,8% de oocistos e 7,8±2,9% de cistos para a ALF e de 3,3±2,0% e 24,8±8,0%, para oocistos e cistos no resíduo sedimentado. Apenas a recuperação de cistos de Giardia spp. no resíduo sedimentado atendeu aos padrões recomendados pelo Método 1623.1 da USEPA. A presença de microesferas magnéticas aderidas aos (oo)cistos foi observada nos poços de leitura após a IMS, indicando limitações desse método de purificação. Para o tratamento alcalino do resíduo sedimentado, a dosagem de 27mg/100mL foi testada para os tempos de 3 e 5 dias e, respectivamente, foram obtidos 1,85 e 3,0 log de inativação de oocistos e 2,05 e 2,14 log de inativação para cistos. Para o processo de ozonização da ALF, avaliado apenas para oocistos, as inativações de 2,83 log e 3,44 log foram obtidas para as dosagens de 7,5 mg O3 L-1 por 10 min e 10 mg O3 L-1 por 5 min, respectivamente. / Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts and Giardia spp. cysts are infectious forms and can cause public health problems due to associated waterborne diseases. (Oo)cysts are difficult to remove and inactivate during water treatment, mainly because of reduced size and resistance to chlorination. In addition, protozoan detection methods in water are expensive and subject to high variability and low reproducibility, especially in high turbidity water. In jartest treatability tests, 110 uT study water was treated with polyaluminium chloride to obtain backwashing water (BW) and sedimented residue. The method chosen for detection of (oo)cysts was direct centrifugation with addition of 7X ICN dispersion solution followed by IMS with two acid dissociations. Treatment of residuals objectified inactivation of (oo)cysts by damages on parasites cellular structure, identified by inclusion of propidium iodide as an indicator. The method of detection chosen showed less interference in the viability of (oo)cysts in comparison to flocculation in calcium carbonate and better recovery than direct centrifugation. The analytical quality control of this method, performed with EasySeed® suspension, obtained recovery of 2.8±0.8% oocysts and 7.8±2.9% cysts for BW and of 3.3±2.0% and 24.8±8.0%, for oocysts and cysts in sedimented residue. Only Giardia spp. recovery in sedimented residue complied with the standards recommended by USEPA Method 1623.1. Magnetic microspheres were found attached to (oo)cysts in microscope slides after IMS, indicating limitations of this purification method. For the alkaline treatment of sedimented residue, dosage of 27mg / 100mL was tested for 3 and 5 days and respectively 1.85 and 3.0 log inactivation were obtained for oocysts while 2.05 and 2.14 log of. For ozonation of BW, evaluated only for oocysts, 2.83 log and 3.44 log inactivation were obtained for dosages of 7.5 mg O3 L-1 for 10 min and 10 mg O3 L-1 for 5 min, respectively.

O presente trabalho avaliou o uso e a detecção de óxido de cálcio e ozônio para a inativação de cistos de Giardia spp. e oocistos de Cryptosporidium parvum presentes nos resíduos e na água de lavagem dos filtros gerados após a utilização da tecnologia de ciclo completo com flotação por ar dissolvido (coagulação, floculação, flotação e filtração) em escala de bancada, usando o cloreto de polialumínio PAC como coagulante. Para os ensaios analíticos de recuperação dos protozoários e validação do método foram utilizados as suspensões e o Easyseed® nas matrizes ALF e resíduos. A quantificação dos protozoários foi realizada pelo método de centrifugação direta com a adição de solução de dispersão detergente ICN 7X (MP BIO®) a 1,0% na amostra com a etapa de separação imunomagnética – IMS. As recuperações nos ensaios de qualidade utilizando as suspensões de protozoários foram de 19,86% ± 16,29 e 43,95% ± 11,21, para oocistos de Cryptosporidium e cistos de Giardia respectivamente na matriz ALF, enquanto que para a matriz resíduo foram de 8,16% ± 30,24 para Cryptosporidium e 32,54% ± 46,48 para Giardia. Para os ensaios de recuperação empregando o Easyseed® os valores da matriz ALF foram 2,25% ± 1,37 para Cryptosporidium e 3,75% ± 2,25 para Giardia. No resíduo, a recuperação foi de 4,5% ± 1,50 para Cryptosporidium e 49% ± 1 para Giardia. Para os ensaios com óxido de cálcio na matriz resíduo, a primeira condição com dosagem de 23 mg cal/100mL no tempo de contato de 3 dias a 25° C, não foram encontrados protozoário positivo para o teste IP (iodeto de propídeo), o que deixa esta condição satisfatória. Na segunda condição, com dosagem de 16 mg cal/100mL e tempo de contato de 3 dias a 25°C, foram encontrados protozoários negativos para IP. Para as condições de desinfecção, utilizando ozônio, com tempos de contato 5 min e 10 min e dosagens de 10 mg O3.L-1 e 7,5 mg O3.L-1, respectivamente, poucos organismos foram detectados. Portanto, destaca-se a dificuldade em avaliar a permeabilidade dos protozoários após os ensaios de desinfecção realizados. Faz-se necessário realizar novos ensaios com outras dosagens e tempos de contato. / The present work evaluated the use of calcium oxide and ozone for the inactivation of Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts present in the wastes and in the wash water of the filters obtained after the use of the complete cycle technology with dissolved air flotation (coagulation, flocculation, flotation and filtration) on a bench scale using polyaluminium chloride - PAC as a coagulant. For the analytical tests of protozoan recovery and validation of the method, suspensions and Easyseed ® were used in the ALF and residues matrices. Protozoan quantification was performed by the direct centrifugation method with the addition of detergent dispersion solution ICN 7X (MP BIO ®) at 1.0% in the sample with the immunomagnetic separation step - IMS. The recoveries in the quality assays using the protozoal suspensions were 19.86% ± 16.29 and 43.95% ± 11.21 for Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts respectively in the ALF matrix, whereas for the residue matrix were 8.16% ± 30.24 for Cryptosporidium and 32.54 ± 46.48 for Giardia. For the recovery assays using Easyseed ® the ALF matrix values were 2.25% ± 1.37 for Cryptosporidium and 3.75% ± 2.25 for Giardia. In the residue, recovery was 4.5% ± 1.50 for Cryptosporidium and 49% ± 1 for Giardia. For the calcium oxide assays in the residue matrix, the first condition with a dosage of 23 mg cal/100mL at the contact time of 3 days at 25°C, no positive protozoan was found for the IP (propidium iodide) test, which leaves is a satisfactory condition. In the second condition with a dosage of 16 mg cal/100mL and contact time of 3 days at 25°C, negative protozoa were found for IP. For the disinfection conditions using ozone with contact times 5 min and 10 min and dosages of 10 mg O3.L-1 and 7.5 mg O3.L-1, respectively, few organisms were detected. Therefore, the difficulty in evaluating the permeability of protozoa after the disinfection tests carried out. Realization of new tests with other dosages and contact times.
