Abstract [en]

Acoustic trapping is a promising technique for aligning particles in two-dimensional arrays, as well as for dynamic manipulation of particles individually or in groups. The actuating principles used in current systems rely on either cavity modes in enclosures or complex arrangements for phase control. Therefore, available systems either require high power inputs and costly peripheral equipment or sacrifice flexibility. This work presents a different concept for acoustic trapping of particles and cells that enables dynamically defined trapping patterns inside a simple and inexpensive setup. Here, dynamic operation and dexterous trapping are realized through the use of a modified piezoelectric transducer in direct contact with the liquid sample. Physical modeling shows how the transducer induces an acoustic force potential where the conventional trapping in the axial direction is supplemented by surface displacement dependent lateral trapping. The lateral field is a horizontal array of pronounced potential minima with frequency-dependent locations. The resulting system enables dynamic arraying of levitated trapping sites at low power and can be manufactured at ultra-low cost, operated using low-cost electronics, and assembled in less than 5 min. We demonstrate dynamic patterning of particles and biological cells and exemplify potential uses of the technique for cell-based sample preparation and cell culture.

Abstract [en]

Ultrasonic standing wave (USW) particle manipulation has during the last two decades matured into a valuable tool to combine with microfluidics. Acoustophoresis, migration through sound, is the result of the acoustic radiation force acting on particles suspended in an acoustic field. The acoustic radiation force magnitude is proportional to the acoustic energy density, frequency and particle size. The acoustic radiation force has successfully been implemented in particle washing, size-based separation, mechanical phenotype-based cell separation and trapping applications. The force magnitude and direction also depend on the difference between the mechanical properties of the fluid and particle. In the first part of this thesis, we show that the mechanical properties of dead cells are a function of the surrounding fluid which was used to acoustically separate dead and viable cells in a density modulated medium.The non-invasive and biocompatible acoustic radiation force has also been used in trapping applications tailored towards tissue modelling and engineering. One of the explored models is the multicellular tumor spheroid (MTCS) which is a spherical aggregate of tumor cells. The MCTS models a solid tumor and is increasingly used to replace regular 2D cell culture techniques in cancer research and drug screening pipelines. The majority of this thesis will be dedicated to the formation and culture of scaffold-free MCTSs using the acoustic radiation force in silicon and glass microwells. We have developed two multiwell microplate designs where either a 100 MCTSs in a single compartment or 576 MCTSs divided into 16 compartments can be formed in parallel using USWs. By using a sequential cell seeding method it is possible to control the MCTS structural architecture and create core-shell MCTSs. The glass bottom in the microwells in combination with efficient clearing protocols also enabled whole MCTS imaging which was utilized to characterize the cell cycle and the volumetric parameters of the nuclei within the MCTSs using image analysis. Finally, we used the 16 chamber multiwell microplate to investigate the drug response in MCTSs from 4 different cell lines simultaneously and evaluate the NK cell cytotoxic response towards MCTSs in presence of different treatments. 

Abstract [sv]

Ultraljudsbaserad partikelmanipulation har under de senaste två decennierna utvecklats till ett värdefullt verktyg inom mikrofluidik. Akustofores, migrationgenom ljud, är resultatet av den akustiska strålningskraften som verkar på partiklar suspenderade i ett akustiskt fält. Den akustiska strålningskraftens storlek är proportionell mot den akustiska energitätheten, frekvensen samt partikelstorleken och har framgångsrikt implementerats i partikeltvätt, storleksbaserad separation, mekanisk fenotypbaserad cellseparation och aggregeringsapplikationer. Kraftens magnitud samt riktning beror även på skillnaden mellan vätskans och partikelns mekaniska egenskaper. I den första delen av denna avhandling visar vi att de mekaniska egenskaperna hos döda celler är en funktion av den omgivande vätskan. Konceptet användes för att akustiskt separera döda och levande celler i ett densitetsmodulerat medium.Den icke-invasiva och biokompatibla akustiska strålningskraften har också använts i aggregeringstillämpningar skräddarsydda för vävnadsmodellering. En av de utforskade modellerna är den multicellulära tumörsfäroiden (MCTS) som är ett sfäriskt aggregat av tumörceller. MCTSen modellerar en solid tumör och används i allt högre grad för att ersätta vanliga 2D-cellodlingstekniker i cancerforskning och läkemedelsscreening. Huvuddelen av denna avhandling kommer att ägnas åt bildandet och odlingen av MCTS:er användandes den akustiska strålningskraften i kisel- och glasmikrobrunnar. Vi har utvecklat två mikrobrunnsbaserade mikrochip där antingen 100 MCTS:er i ett enda fack eller 576 MCTS uppdelat i 16 fack kan bildas parallellt med ultraljud. Genom att använda en sekventiell cellsåddningsmetod är det möjligt att kontrollera MCTS-arkitekturen och skapa kärn-skal MCTS:er. Mikrobrunnarnas glasbotten i kombination med effektiva transparensinducerande protokoll möjliggjorde även MCTS-avbildning som användes för att karakterisera cellcykeln och de volymetriska parametrarna för cellkärnor i MCTS:er med hjälp av bildanalys. Slutligen använde vi mikrochippetmed 16 kamrar för att undersöka läkemedelsresponsen i MCTS:er från fyra olika cellinjer samt utvärdera NK-cellens cytotoxiska respons mot MCTS:er i närvaro av olika läkemedel.
