title = "Microfluidic synthesis of functional polymeric particles for cell capture and isolation",
abstract = "We demonstrate a method, based upon photopolymerization in microfluidic devices, to synthesize polymeric hydrogel microparticles with anisotropic shape and chemistry for cell capture. We discuss means of particle synthesis and characterization of the ability to capture cells in buffer. The size and shape of the particles are dictated by a photolithographic mask and geometry of the microchannel, allowing automated production of complex shapes. The functional properties of the particles are tuned by altering their chemistry independent of the shape and size. The particles are functionalized with an antibody against cell surface proteins which is then used to capture specific target cells.",
