Replication Data for Microfluidic Separation of Adipocytes

Fat cell (adipocyte) size is an important factor related to liver- and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other metabolic disorders. However, adipocytes are fragile and have been very difficult to separate y size, making studies of size-based effects difficult. We have developed a microfluidic device, adapting the Deterministic Lateral Displacement method, that uses arrays of pillars to separate cells, to work on this large cells. The replication data contains microscopy images of adipocytes post sorting, but still inside microfluidics device plus Coulter Counter measurements of diameter and volume performed on the same cells.
