Critical Model

This paper presents a numerical model of one-dimensional, steady-state, multi-species, ion transport along a channel of variable width and depth. It is intended for computationally efficient simulation of devices with large variations in characteristic length scale—for example those incorporating both micro- and nanochannels. The model represents both volume charge in the fluid and surface charge on the channel walls as equivalent linear charge densities. The relative importance of the surface terms is captured by a so-called “overlap parameter” that accounts for electric double-layer effects, such as selective ion transport. Scale transitions are implemented using position-dependent area and perimeter functions. The model is validated against experimental results previously reported in the literature. In particular, model predictions are compared to measurements of fluorescent tracer species in nanochannels, of nanochannel conductivity, and of the relative enhancement and depletion of negatively and positively charged tracer species in a device combining micro- and nanochannels. Surface charge density is a critical model parameter, but in practice it is often poorly known. Therefore it is also shown how the model may be used to estimate surface charge density based on measurements. In two of the three experiments studied the externally applied voltage is low, and excellent results are achieved with electroosmotic terms neglected. In the remaining case a large external potential (∼ 1 kV) is applied, necessitating an additional adjustable parameter to capture convective transport. With this addition, model performance is excellent.

Surface Charge Distribution

Many bio-functions of cells can be regulated by their surface charge characteristics. Mapping surface charge density in a single cell’s surface is vital to advance the understanding of cell behaviors. This article demonstrates a method of cell surface charge mapping via electrostatic cell–nanoparticle (NP) interactions. Fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) were used as the marker to investigate single cells’ surface charge distribution. The nanoparticles with opposite charges were electrostatically bonded to the cell surface; a stack of fluorescence distribution on a cell’s surface at a series of vertical distances was imaged and analyzed. By establishing a relationship between fluorescent light intensity and number of nanoparticles, cells’ surface charge distribution was quantified from the fluorescence distribution. Two types of cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and HeLa cells, were tested. From the measured surface charge density of a group of single cells, the average zeta potentials of the two types of cells were obtained, which are in good agreement with the standard electrophoretic light scattering measurement. This method can be used for rapid surface charge mapping of single particles or cells, and can advance cell-surface-charge characterization applications in many biomedical fields.

Interactions between phospholipid membranes and selected drugs affecting the central nervous system (CNS) were investigated. Small, unilamellar liposomes were used as biomimetic cell membrane models. Microelectrophoretic experiments on two-component liposomes were performed using the electrophoretic light scattering technique (ELS). The effect of both positively (perphenazine, PF) and negatively (barbituric acid, BA) charged drugs on zwitterionic L-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC) membranes were analyzed. Experimental membrane surface charge density (d) data were determined as a function of pH. Quantitative descriptions of the adsorption equilibria formed due to the binding of solution ions to analyzed two-component membranes are presented. Binding constants of the solution ions with perphenazine and barbituric acid-modified membranes were determined. The results of our research show that both charged drugs change surface charge density values of phosphatidylcholine membranes. It can be concluded that perphenazine and barbituric acid are located near the membrane surface, interacting electrostatically with phosphatidylcholine polar heads.
