Generation of oxygen gradients in microfluidic devices for cell culture using spatially confined chemical reactions.
This paper reports a microfluidic device capable of generating oxygen gradients for cell culture using spatially confined chemical reactions with minimal chemical consumption. The microfluidic cell culture device is constructed by single-layer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channels, in which the cells can be easily observed by microscopes. The device can control the oxygen gradients ...
متن کاملIn situ generation of tunable porosity gradients in hydrogel-based scaffolds for microfluidic cell culture.
Compared with preformed anisotropic matrices, an anisotropic matrix that allows users to alter its properties and structure in situ after synthesis offers the important advantage of being able to mimic dynamic in vivo microenvironments, such as in tissues undergoing morphogenesis or in wounds undergoing tissue repair. In this study, porous gradients are generated in situ in a hydrogel comprisin...
متن کاملMicro-patterned Polystyrene Substrates for Highly Integrated Microfluidic Cell Culture
Adherent mammalian cells dynamically interact with their extracellular matrix (ECM) and culture substrate. To accommodate this sensitivity, standard culture techniques typically utilize tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), a treated polystyrene substrate that promotes cell attachment. However, TCPS cannot be easily integrated into microfluidic devices as it is incompatible with conventional fabri...
متن کاملChemical imaging of microfluidic flows using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.
Elucidating the chemical composition of microfluidic flows is crucial in both understanding and optimising reactive processes within small-volume environments. Herein we report the implementation of a novel detection methodology based on Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR)-Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopic imaging using an infrared focal plane array detector for microfluidic applic...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Cell Culture Chambers with Nanoporous Walls for Chemical Communication
Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals that so far only a tiny fraction of microbial diversity has been cultured in the laboratory. One major reason behind this "unculturability" is that many microbes function in symbiosis, frequently exchanging metabolites to sustain their own metabolism, while key exchanged metabolites have hardly been identified. To ad...
