- Abstract
- In this study, we present the novel microchip to separate a motile sperm using a thermotaxis resulting from temperature gradient in microchannel, without flow by an external device. Our microchip was fabricated by a replica molding technique using a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) and glass substrate. The micro heater for generation of temperature gradient was fabricated with the ITO (Indium Tin oxide) film. In consequence, temperature gradient was linearly generated by the micro heater within the microchannel. Under the optimal temperature gradient, some motile sperm vigorously moved toward the outlet well. © 2009 CBMS.
