摘要
S/L功能化颗粒系统与微流体协同的卓越能力为解决当前和重大挑战提供了巨大的机会,因为从液相中选择性捕获生物分子,这一过程高度依赖于两相之间的密切接触。在这项工作中,我们报告了存在于水溶液中的目标生物分子选择性隔离到工程固体捕获剂上的数值预测。为此,开发了一个定制的欧拉/欧拉/拉格朗日模型,该模型能够跟踪系统中涉及的所有相,并考虑S/L界面传质。具有挑战性的捕获内毒素(LPS),脓毒症的病原体,固体珠装饰与工程结合蛋白已被选为激励的案例研究。计算工具已经成功地验证了使用批量数据之前报告的我们的研究小组,捕获偏差低于5%。此外,我们还提出了一种微型装置的设计,可以连续地从生物流体中提取LPS,并促进这些变量对界面传质速率的影响。设计过程使线圈启发的t型微反应器表现出优异的性能。该装置可处理含有1 mg·mL - 1 LPS的样品1.4 L / h,在不到5 s的时间内实现液体完全混合,颗粒分布均匀,在不到15 s的时间内达到LPS捕获平衡。因此,据我们所知,我们在此首次报道了由欧拉/欧拉/拉格朗日模型辅助的先进毒素去除微装置的设计。
Microfluidic capture of selected biomolecules with functionalized particles. Design under a numerical approach
The outstanding capabilities of S/L functionalized particulate systems synergized with microfluidics offer great opportunities to address current and significant challenges, as the selective capture of biomolecules from a liquid phase, a process highly reliant on the intimate contact between both phases. In this work, we report the numerical prediction of the selective sequestration of a target biomolecule present in an aqueous solution onto engineered solid capture agents. For this purpose, a customized Eulerian/Eulerian/Lagrangian model able to track all the phases involved in the system and account for the S/L interfacial mass transfer has been developed. The challenging capture of endotoxins (LPS), sepsis causing agents, by solid beads decorated with engineered binding proteins has been selected as motivating case study. The computational tool has been successfully validated using batch data previously reported by our research group with capture deviations inferior to 5 %. Furthermore, we advance the design of microdevices to continuously withdraw LPS from biofluids and promote those variables with influence on the rate of the interfacial mass transfer. The design procedure has rendered a coil inspired T-type microreactor that displays an exceptional performance. This device can treat 1.4 L per hour of a sample containing 1 mg·mL−1 LPS, attain the fluids complete mixing in less than 5 s, a uniform particle distribution and reach the LPS capture equilibrium in less than 15 s. Thus, to the best of our knowledge, we report herein for the first time the design of advanced microdevices for toxin removal assisted by a Euler/Euler/Lagrange model.
