Patent number: 10099417Abstract: A sheath flow system having a channel with at least one fluid transporting structure located in the top and bottom surfaces situated so as to transport the sheath fluid laterally across the channel to provide sheath fluid fully surrounding the core solution. At the point of introduction into the channel, the sheath fluid and core solutions flow side by side within the channel or the core solution may be bounded on either side by the sheath fluid. The system is functional over a broad channel size range and with liquids of high or low viscosity. The design can be readily incorporated into microfluidic chips without the need for special manufacturing protocols. Uses include extruding materials and/or fabricating structures.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: David R. Mott, Frances S. Ligler, Stephanie Fertig, Aron Bobrowski

Patent number: 9573311Abstract: A sheath flow system having a channel with first and second fluid transporting structures located on opposing surfaces facing one another across the channel in the top and bottom surfaces of the channel situated so as to transport the sheath fluid laterally across the channel to provide sheath fluid fully surrounding the core solution. At the point of introduction into the channel, the sheath fluid and core solutions flow side by side within the channel or the core solution may be bounded on either side by the sheath fluid. The system is functional over a broad channel size range and with liquids of high or low viscosity. The design can be readily incorporated into microfluidic chips without the need for special manufacturing protocols.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: David R.
