  • Publication number: 20230365912
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for retrieving cells from a continuous culture microfluidic device. In some aspects, a system that allows for selective extraction of one or more cells of interest from an arbitrary population of cells using a high-throughput negative cell selection technique is disclosed herein. For example, the system may comprise a microfluidic device comprising a plurality of cell growth trenches configured to contain cells and a patterned light source capable of selectively killing unwanted cells contained within the device. Coupled with time-lapse imaging, one or more cells of interest within the device may, in some aspects, be identified and extracted with a relatively high extraction efficiency, e.g., at least 99.9% of cells of interest may be extracted from the plurality of cells. In addition, some aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods for using such a system.
