Abstract

We show that it is possible to direct cells across streamlines and into adjacent, functional flows enabling on-chip lysis and genomic DNA extraction. We use an asymmetric post array (bump array) [1] to move cells across flows having different chemical constituents. We demonstrate that spheroplasted E.coli cells can be transported into a parallel, co-flowing lysis stream where the cell is lysed and the cell contents are extracted; following lysis the genomic DNA is immediately and simultaneously separated from smaller cellular debris.
