A novel high aspect ratio microfluidic design to provide a stable and uniform microenvironment for cell growth in a high throughput mammalian cell culture array.
We present a high aspect ratio microfluidic device for culturing cells inside an array of microchambers with continuous perfusion of medium. The device was designed to provide a potential tool for cost-effective and automated cell culture. The single unit of the array consists of a circular microfluidic chamber 40 microm in height surrounded by multiple narrow perfusion channels 2 microm in hei...
متن کاملCultivation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells with Controlled Aggregate Size and Geometrical Arrangement by Inverting Microwell Array Chip
This paper reports a novel cell culture chip, namely “inverting microwell array chip”, for cultivation of human induced pluripotent stem cells with controlled microenvironment. Our “inverting microwell array chip” comprises a lower hydrogel microwell array and an upper polystyrene (PS) culture surface. We demonstrate the formation of uniform human induced pluripotent stem cell aggregates in the...
متن کاملMicrofabricated arrays for high-throughput screening of cellular response to cyclic substrate deformation.
Mechanical forces play an important role in regulating cellular function and have been shown to modulate cellular response to other factors in the cellular microenvironment. Presently, no technique exists to rapidly screen for the effects of a range of uniform mechanical forces on cellular function. In this work, we developed and characterized a novel microfabricated array capable of simultaneo...
متن کاملA novel microfluidic platform with stable concentration gradient for on chip cell culture and screening assays.
In this work a novel microfluidic platform for cell culture and assay is developed. On the chip a static cell culture region is coupled with dynamic fluidic nutrition supply structures. The cell culture unit has a sandwich structure with liquid channels on the top, the cell culture reservoir in the middle and gas channels on the bottom. Samples can be easily loaded into the reservoir and exchan...
متن کاملMicrofluidic arrays for logarithmically perfused embryonic stem cell culture.
We present a microfluidic device for culturing adherent cells over a logarithmic range of flow rates. The device sets flow rates through four separate cell-culture chambers using syringe-driven flow and a network of fluidic resistances. The design is easy to fabricate with no on-chip valves and is scalable both in the number of culture chambers as well as in the range of applied flow rates. Usi...
