Separation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples and subsequent DNA extraction from these cells play a crucial role in cancer research and drug discovery. Microfluidics is a versatile technology that has been applied to create niche solutions to biomedical applications, such as cell separation and mixing, droplet generation, bioprinting, and organs on a chip. Centrifugal microfluidic biochips created on compact disks show great potential in processing biological samples for point of care diagnostics. This study investigates the design and numerical simulation of an integrated microfluidic device, including a cell separation unit for isolating CTCs from a blood sample and a micromixer unit for cell lysis on a rotating disk platform. For this purpose, an inertial microfluidic device was designed for the separation of target cells by using contraction–expansion microchannel arrays. Additionally, a micromixer was incorporated to mix separated target cells with the cell lysis chemical reagent to dissolve their membranes to facilitate further assays. Our numerical simulation approach was validated for both cell separation and micromixer units and corroborates existing experimental results. In the first compartment of the proposed device (cell separation unit), several simulations were performed at different angular velocities from 500 rpm to 3000 rpm to find the optimum angular velocity for maximum separation efficiency. By using the proposed inertial separation approach, CTCs, were successfully separated from white blood cells (WBCs) with high efficiency (~90%) at an angular velocity of 2000 rpm. Furthermore, a serpentine channel with rectangular obstacles was designed to achieve a highly efficient micromixer unit with high mixing quality (~98%) for isolated CTCs lysis at 2000 rpm.

Microfluidic devices have enormous potential and a wide range of applications. However, most applications end up as chip-in-a-lab systems because of power source constraints. This work focuses on reducing the reliance on the power network and expanding on the concept of a lab-on-a-chip for microfluidic devices. A cellulose-based radiator to reflect infrared (IR) radiation with wavelengths within the atmospheric window (8–13 µm) into outer space was fabricated. This process lowered the temperature inside the insulated environment. The difference in temperature was used to power a thermoelectric generator (TEG) and generate an electric current. This electric current was run through a DC-DC transformer to increase the voltage before being used to perform electrical cell lysis with a microfluidic device. This experimental setup successfully achieved 90% and 50% cell lysis efficiencies in ideal conditions and in field tests, respectively. This work demonstrated the possibility of utilizing the unique characteristics of a microfluidic device to perform an energy-intensive assay with minimal energy generated from a TEG and no initial power input for the system. The TEG system also required less maintenance than solar, wind, or hydroelectricity. The IR radiation process naturally allows for more dynamic working conditions for the entire system.
