Gelatin based microfluidic devices for cell culture.
We have developed a technique for fabricating microfluidic devices from gelatin using a natural crosslinking process. Gelatin, crosslinked with the naturally occurring enzyme transglutaminase is molded to produce microchannels suitable for adherent cell culture and analysis. The autofluorescence of the material was shown to be minimal and within the range of typical background, ensuring utility...
متن کاملPatterned cell culture inside microfluidic devices.
This paper describes a simple plasma-based dry etching method that enables patterned cell culture inside microfluidic devices by allowing patterning, fluidic bonding and sterilization steps to be carried out in a single step. This plasma-based dry etching method was used to pattern cell-adhesive and non-adhesive areas on the glass and polystyrene substrates. The patterned substrate was used for...
متن کاملOxygen levels in thermoplastic microfluidic devices during cell culture.
We developed a computational model to predict oxygen levels in microfluidic plastic devices during cell culture. This model is based on experimental evaluation of oxygen levels. Conditions are determined that provide adequate oxygen supply to two cell types, hepatocytes and endothelial cells, either by diffusion through the plastic device, or by supplying a low flow rate of medium.
متن کاملAutomation of three-dimensional cell culture in arrayed microfluidic devices.
The increasing interest in studying the interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) has created a need for high throughput low-cost three-dimensional (3D) culture systems. The recent development of tubeless microfluidics via passive pumping provides a high throughput microchannel culture platform compatible with existing high throughput infrastructures (e.g., automated liquid ...
متن کاملAdvantages and challenges of microfluidic cell culture in polydimethylsiloxane devices.
Culture of cells using various microfluidic devices is becoming more common within experimental cell biology. At the same time, a technological radiation of microfluidic cell culture device designs is currently in progress. Ultimately, the utility of microfluidic cell culture will be determined by its capacity to permit new insights into cellular function. Especially insights that would otherwi...
