Transparent polymeric cell culture chip with integrated temperature control and uniform media perfusion.
Modern microfabrication and microfluidic technologies offer new opportunities in the design and fabrication of miniaturized cell culture systems for online monitoring of living cells. We used laser micromachining and thermal bonding to fabricate an optically transparent, low-cost polymeric chip for long-term online cell culture observation under controlled conditions. The chip incorporated a mi...
متن کاملIntegrated microfluidic cell culture and lysis on a chip.
We present an integrated microfluidic cell culture and lysis platform for automated cell analysis that improves on systems which require multiple reagents and manual procedures. Through the combination of previous technologies developed in our lab (namely, on-chip cell culture and electrochemical cell lysis) we have designed, fabricated, and characterized an integrated microfluidic platform cap...
متن کاملReversibly-assebmled Perfusion Culture Chip with Microwell Array for Controllable Spheroid Culture and Post-culture Analysis
This paper reports a microfluidic device composed of a reversibly-assembled microfluidic chamber chip and multi-microwell array chip. This device enabled perfusion culture of spheroid in a microarray format, and detailed post-culture analysis by collection of spheroids from the disassembled device. The device provides four advantages simultaneously; the uniform spheroid formation, growth analys...
متن کاملA pumpless cell culture chip with the constant medium perfusion-rate maintained by balanced droplet dispensing.
This paper presents a pumpless cell culture chip, where a constant-rate medium perfusion is achieved by balanced droplet dispensing. Previous pumpless cell culture chips, where the gravity-driven flow is induced by gradually decreasing the hydraulic-head difference, Δh, between source and drain reservoirs, result in a decreasing perfusion-rate. However, the present pumpless cell culture chip, w...
متن کاملOn-chip CO2 control for microfluidic cell culture.
Carbon dioxide partial pressure (P(CO(2))) was controlled on-chip by flowing pre-equilibrated aqueous solutions through control channels across the device. Elevated P(CO(2)) (e.g. 0.05 atm) was modulated in neighboring stagnant channels via equilibration through the highly gas permeable substrate, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Stable gradients in P(CO(2)) were demonstrated with a pair of contr...
