Abstract
Microfluidic devices and associated methods are disclosed. A microfluidic device includes a target entrainment channel and an effluent channel on opposing sides of a semipermeable membrane. A restrictor channel that is narrower than the effluent channel is interposed between the semipermeable membrane and the effluent channel. Fluid that flows from the target entrainment channel, through the semipermeable membrane and the restrictor channel to the effluent channel, pins target cells along the center of the target entrainment channel for electroporation using an electrode in the channel.
