Microfluidic Endothelial Cell Layer Culture: This use case features a single pumping channel coupled with a distributor, enabling the seeding of different cell types on either side of a membrane within the chip. This configuration facilitates the creation of a more physiologically relevant endothelial cell layer, ideal for developing new therapies or conducting toxicity screenings.
Controlled Perfusion for Optimal Results: Efficient perfusion is critical to replicating physiological conditions. Our system allows for the quick injection of substances, with precise flow control provided by our microfluidic flow sensors. You can fine-tune strain, shear stress, and pressure to create realistic biomechanical environments.
Our all-in-one use case ensures seamless compatibility between components, allowing for a quick start to your experiments. Everything is controlled by a single software platform, making it easy to set up and run your microfluidic experiments.
Included Components:
Maximized Efficiency with Minimal Sample Use: Microfluidics allows you to minimize the volume of valuable samples required, significantly reducing experiment costs. This precision also enables the replication of in vivo fluid properties at a micro scale, offering a more accurate model for human organ systems.
Enhanced Physiological Relevance: Microfluidic endothelial cell layers provide a more accurate and flexible environment for experiments, closely mimicking in vivo conditions. This makes them far superior to traditional 2D cultures or animal models, particularly as regulatory bodies and the public push for reduced animal testing.
Applications in Drug Testing and Disease Research: Our microfluidic platform allows for more efficient and precise assessments of drug toxicity and pathogen effects on endothelial cells, opening new avenues for therapeutic developments.
Visualizing Endothelial Cell Cultures: Create accurate models of endothelial cell environments, including complex interactions within blood vessels. This setup enables the replication of key mechanical forces and chemical environments that influence vascular research.
Principles of Microfluidic Endothelial Cell Culture: Endothelial cells are central to vascular function and are affected by various chemical, biological, and physical stimuli. Microfluidic models allow researchers to recreate the dynamic conditions of blood vessels, providing a more realistic in vitro environment for studying diseases like diabetes and cancer.
Comparative Studies in Microfluidic and Traditional Cultures: Research has shown that endothelial cells exhibit better morphology, viability, and density when cultured under dynamic flow conditions within microfluidic systems compared to traditional static cultures. These findings underscore the importance of using microfluidic technology for more accurate and reliable vascular research.
Blood-Brain Barrier and Permeability Studies: Microfluidic systems are also being used to model the blood-brain barrier, offering human-relevant insights into neurological diseases. Additionally, researchers can study the permeability of endothelial cell layers under varying shear stress conditions.
Our cross-flow membrane chip can be tailored to your specific needs, with options for materials (Cyclo Olefin Copolymer or Polystyrene) and pore sizes (0.2 µm or 8 µm). Custom membranes are also available upon request.
