A PDMS-Based Microfluidic Hanging Drop Chip for Embryoid Body Formation.
The conventional hanging drop technique is the most widely used method for embryoid body (EB) formation. However, this method is labor intensive and limited by the difficulty in exchanging the medium. Here, we report a microfluidic chip-based approach for high-throughput formation of EBs. The device consists of microfluidic channels with 6 × 12 opening wells in PDMS supported by a glass substra...
متن کاملA Microfluidic Hanging Drop Chip for Automated Culture of Three - dimensional Cell Aggregates
The hanging drop (HD) cell culture method is widely used for the formation of in vitro three-dimensional (3D) cell aggregates, avoiding the cellular distortion typically seen in the two-dimensional cell culture. The conventional HD technique consists of placing small drops of cell suspension solution on a plastic substrate, inverting the substrate, and incubating for the desired or permitted le...
متن کاملDrop on demand in a microfluidic chip
In this work, we introduce the novel technique of in-chip drop on demand, which consists in dispensing picoliter to nanoliter drops on demand directly in the liquid-filled channels of a polymer microfluidic chip, at frequencies up to 2.5 kHz and with precise volume control. The technique involves a PDMS chip with one or several microliter-size chambers driven by piezoelectric actuators. Individ...
متن کاملObservation Interface of PDMS Membrane in a Microfluidic Chip Based on One-Step Molding
Nowadays, researchers are focusing on sorting, characterizing and detecting micron or submicron particles or bacteria in microfluidic chips. However, some contradictions hinder the applications of conventional microfluidic chips, including the low working distance of high resolving power microscopy and the low light transmittance of conventional microfluidic chips. In this paper, a rapid and re...
متن کاملHanging Drop Tissue Culture
The hanging drop tissue culture is a technique utilized in embryology [4] and other fields to allow growth that would otherwise be restricted by the flat plane of culture dishes and also to minimize the surface area to volume ratio, slowing evaporation. The classic hanging drop culture is a small drop of liquid, such as plasma or some other media allowing tissue growth, suspended from an invert...
