A Reversibly Sealed, Easy Access, Modular (SEAM) Microfluidic Architecture to Establish In Vitro Tissue Interfaces
Microfluidic barrier tissue models have emerged as advanced in vitro tools to explore interactions with external stimuli such as drug candidates, pathogens, or toxins. However, the procedures required to establish and maintain these systems can be challenging to implement for end users, particularly those without significant in-house engineering expertise. Here we present a module-based approac...
متن کاملCell docking inside microwells within reversibly sealed microfluidic channels for fabricating multiphenotype cell arrays.
We present a soft lithographic method to fabricate multiphenotype cell arrays by capturing cells within an array of reversibly sealed microfluidic channels. The technique uses reversible sealing of elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds on surfaces to sequentially deliver various fluids or cells onto specific locations on a substrate. Microwells on the substrate were used to capture and ...
متن کاملFabrication of a modular tissue construct in a microfluidic chip.
By combining microfluidics and soft-lithographic molding of gels containing mammalian cells, a device for three-dimensional (3D) culture of mammalian cells in microchannels was developed. Native components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen or Matrigel, made up the matrix of each molded piece (module) of cell-containing gel. Each module had at least one dimension below approximatel...
متن کاملA modular microfluidic architecture for integrated biochemical analysis.
Microfluidic laboratory-on-a-chip (LOC) systems based on a modular architecture are presented. The architecture is conceptualized on two levels: a single-chip level and a multiple-chip module (MCM) system level. At the individual chip level, a multilayer approach segregates components belonging to two fundamental categories: passive fluidic components (channels and reaction chambers) and active...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Fabrication of Cell and Tissue Architecture
The microfluidic technology has progressed remarkably with a variety of applications in analytical chemistry, cell biology, point of care diagnosis and particle handling [1]. This technology is, I think, also powerful for the construction of miniaturized structure composed of biological components. In this talk, I will discuss how we can reconstruct the biological architectures such as cellular...
