　　报告摘要：

　　Microfluidic systems have an obvious potential to control, monitor and manipulate algal samples as well as to integrate those steps with cell encapsulating droplets in a continuous-flow manner. Here, we developed microfluidic platforms to perform cell culture, genetic transformation, and algal lipid extraction. A new microfluidic platform is constructed to compose of an array of perfusion chambers designed for long-term cultivation and preliminary screening of motile microalgal cells through loading and releasing of cells to and from the chambers. Another hand, a fully integrated centrifugal microfluidic device with organic resistance for rapid on-site quantification of lipids from microalgal samples was developed by serially conducting cell sedimentation and lysis, liquid-liquid extraction, and colorimetric detection of lipid contents within 13 min using a lab-on-a-disc. In addition of a digital microfluidic electroporation (EP) system as developed by ours, continuous-flow microfluidic EP system is under development to improve productivity and facile integration process. These novel platforms will contribute towards sustainable biofuel applications by providing a practical solution for efficient algal R&D activity as well as on-site monitoring.
