In this study, a MEMS-based microfluidic device combining DEP-based cell manipulation with size-based filtration for the enrichment of CTCs from blood with high-throughput was developed. Positive-DEP (pDEP) force and the hydrodynamic force have been used to fine-tune the cell movement over the planar electrodes (sliding) at a high flow rate (30 mu l/min). While smaller sized RBCs passed through the gaps and were directed to the waste channels, cancer cells (K562 cells) were filtered and directed to the cancer cell outlet. A cell enrichment factor and depletion rate of RBCs were calculated as 1.45 and 60%, respectively.

Kinikoglu, Beste; Carlos Rodriguez-Cabello, Jose; Damour, Odile; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2011-06-01)
Elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) are smart, protein-based polymers designed with desired peptide sequences using recombinant DNA technology. The aim of the present study was to produce improved tissue engineering scaffolds from collagen and an elastin-like protein tailored to contain the cell adhesion peptide RGD, and to investigate the structural and mechanical capacities of the resulting scaffolds (foams, fibers and foam-fiber bilayer scaffolds). The results of the scanning electron microscopy, mercury p...
A novel multi-electrochromic polymer based on selenophene and benzotriazole via electrochemical and chemical polymerization
Demir, Fatma; Keles, Duygu; Karabag, Aliekber; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2019-03-04)
In this study, a novel donor-acceptor type monomer was designed based on selenophene and benzotriazole with a bulky pendant group and synthesized through Stille coupling reaction. The monomer was polymerized electrochemically by using cyclic voltammetry and also chemically by oxidation in the presence of FeCl3. Both polymers were then compared in terms of their optical properties, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical behaviors, kinetic and colorimetric properties and surface morphologies. Independent ...
A biosensor platform based on amine functionalized conjugated benzenediamine-benzodithiophene polymer for testosterone analysis
BULUT, Umut; ŞANLI, SERDAR; Cevher, Sevki Can; Çırpan, Ali; Donmez, Sude; TİMUR, SUNA (Wiley, 2020-11-01)
A novel benzenediamine‐benzodithiophene polymer is synthesized for use in biosensor fabrication for the detection of testosterone. The sensory platform is constructed via drop coating on a screen‐printed carbon electrode, using poly(benzenediamine‐Bis[(2‐ethylhexyl)oxy]benzodithiophene) (pBDBT) as the polymer layer. Testosterone antibodies are immobilized on the polymer‐coated electrode surface via glutaraldehyde, which binds to the surface through the amino functional groups on the polymer backbone. The ch...
A triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene bearing low band gap copolymer for electrochromic and organic photovoltaic applications
HACIOGLU, Serife O.; UNLU, Naime A.; AKTAS, Ece; HIZALAN, Gonul; Yildiz, Esra D.; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2017-06-01)
A new triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene based copolymer was synthesized to investigate its electro-chemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. According to the polymer design, combination of two acceptor units (benzotriazole and quinoxaline) which contribute imine bonds to the structure and a triazoloquinoxaline unit for enhancing electron accepting ability was pursued. As a result of electrochemical studies, the copolymer PTQBDT has a low lying HOMO energy level as - 5.23 eV which increases the ch...
Assessment of effects of multi drug resistance on dielectric properties of K562 leukemic cells using electrorotation
Bahrieh, Garsha; Erdem, Murat; Ozgur, Ebru; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2014-01-01)
In this study, dielectric characterization of multidrug resistant (MDR) K562 human leukemia cells was carried out using a MEMS based electrorotation (ER) device with 3D electrodes. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) dependent MDR causes variation in cell dielectric properties (cell interior conductivity (sigma(i)), membrane capacitance (C-m) and total effective membrane conductance (G(m)*)) due to overexpression of P-gp, which modulates the activity of membrane-bound Cl- channels. Different cell populations resistant to...
