Generation of Ca-alginate Microcapsules with Different Concentrations in a Microfluidic Fusion Chip / 應用微流融合晶片生成不同濃度之褐藻膠囊

碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 工程科學系 / 102 / SUMMARY

This thesis presents a microfluidic fusion chip for generating ca-alginate microcapsules with different concentrations. Using MEMS technology, we designed and fabricated a PDMS microfluidic chip, which contained a micron rating 3D electrode as a replacement for the planar electrode made of indium tin oxide, a pillar-induced fusion zone, and an s-shaped observation zone. We used this microfluidic chip to generate ca-alginate microcapsules uniformly sized but covered in different bovine serum albumin (BSA) concentrations, and found that the sizes ranged between 181 m and 161 m. After putting the three differently-sized microcapsules and three different BSA concentrations into Phosphate Buffered Saline for drug release, we observed through the UV/Visible Absorption Spectrometer that the Ca-alginate generated by microfluidic chip could release different drug concentrations at the same time. Thus, the proposed microfluidic chip can be applied to producing microcapsules of different sizes and with different drug concentrations.
