Microfluidic Devices for Cellular Manipulation and Analysis on a Chip
This paper reports the micromachining technology developed for the fabrication of microfluidic devices for the biological research and also our recent development of on-chip manipulation and analysis of cells. Development of micromachining technologies such as deep glass etching using high-density plasmas has enabled us to fabricate highly functional microfluidic devices with precise microstruc...
متن کاملOn chip porous polymer membranes for integration of gastrointestinal tract epithelium with microfluidic 'body-on-a-chip' devices.
We describe a novel fabrication method that creates microporous, polymeric membranes that are either flat or contain controllable 3-dimensional shapes that, when populated with Caco-2 cells, mimic key aspects of the intestinal epithelium such as intestinal villi and tight junctions. The developed membranes can be integrated with microfluidic, multi-organ cell culture systems, providing access t...
متن کاملA microfluidic bioreactor with integrated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes for evaluation of renal epithelial cells.
We have developed a bilayer microfluidic system with integrated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes to evaluate kidney epithelial cells under physiologically relevant fluid flow conditions. The bioreactor consists of apical and basolateral fluidic chambers connected via a transparent microporous membrane. The top chamber contains microfluidic channels to perfuse ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Devices for Terahertz Spectroscopy of Live Cells Toward Lab-on-a-Chip Applications
THz spectroscopy is an emerging technique for studying the dynamics and interactions of cells and biomolecules, but many practical challenges still remain in experimental studies. We present a prototype of simple and inexpensive cell-trapping microfluidic chip for THz spectroscopic study of live cells. Cells are transported, trapped and concentrated into the THz exposure region by applying an A...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Organ/Body-on-a-Chip Devices at the Convergence of Biology and Microengineering
Recent advances in biomedical technologies are mostly related to the convergence of biology with microengineering. For instance, microfluidic devices are now commonly found in most research centers, clinics and hospitals, contributing to more accurate studies and therapies as powerful tools for drug delivery, monitoring of specific analytes, and medical diagnostics. Most remarkably, integration...
