Résumé
The development of a standardized, generic method for concentrating suspensions in continuous flow is challenging. In this study, we developed and tested a device capable of concentrating suspensions with an already high cell concentration to meet diverse industrial requirements. To address typical multitasking needs, we concentrated suspensions with high solid content under a variety of conditions. Cells from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli, and Chinese hamster ovary cells were effectively focused in the center of the main channel of a microfluidic device using acoustophoresis. The main channel bifurcates into three outlets, allowing cells to exit through the central outlet, while the liquid evenly exits through all outlets. Consequently, the treatment separates cells from two-thirds of the surrounding liquid. We investigated the complex interactions between parameters. Increasing the channel depth results in a decrease in process efficiency, attributed to a decline in acoustic energy density. The study also revealed that different cell strains exhibit distinct acoustic contrast factors, originating from differences in dimensions, compressibility, and density values. Finally, a combination of high solid content and flow rate leads to an increase in diffusion through a phenomenon known as shear-induced diffusion. KEY POINTS: • Acoustic focusing in a microchannel was used to concentrate cell suspensions • The parameters influencing focusing at high concentrations were studied • Three different cell strains were successfully concentrated.
