Abstract

We report a multiplexed microfluidic device for highly specific capture and detection of multiple exosome targets using a tuneable alternating current electrohydrodynamics (ac-EHD) forces - referred to as nanoshearing [1,2]. These forces generated within few nanometers of an electrode surface (i.e., double layer) to generate nanoscaled fluid flow that enhances the specificity of capture and also remove the nonspecifically adsorbed species from the electrode surface. To demonstrate the utility of this phenomenon, we present data on purpose-built microfluidic devices that employ ac-EHD induced surface shear forces to specifically capture exosomes isolated from complex biological fluids (e.g., cell culture media, serum etc.) [3].
