Materials
The IC-Chip is made of biocompatible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and is gas-permeable to ensure the CO2 and O2 exchange. The support in thin glass is a microscope slide with excellent optical properties such as high transparency and low autofluorescence. This allows a direct observation of your biological sample with temporal and spatial resolution by using optical, fluorescent and confocal microscopes.
Technical features
| Side Channels | Middle Channel |
Height | 150 µm | 150 µm |
Width | 3250 µm | 1125 µm (the narrow parts) 3375 µm (the wide parts) |
Volume (recommended for injection) | 20 µL | 20 µL |
Diameter of inlets | 1000 µm | 1000 µm |
The IC-Chip has not coated surfaces. According to your application and to eventually improve cell adhesion, you can coat the channel surface by using your solutions of polymers and/or proteins.
This microfluidic device can be used also with cells embedded in hydrogels such as Collagen I, Collagen IV, Fibrin, Matrigel, etc. to recreate a reliable biological microenvironment.
The inlet diameter of 1 mm allows an easy injection of the cell suspension through common pipettes. 20 µL is the recommended volume for each channel/chamber; this will allow to have few extra µL for a practical injection and complete filling.
Additionally, it would be possible to perform studies in dynamic flow conditions by using 1/16” tubing directly fitted in the inlets.
Benefits
- Easy-to-use
- Physiologically relevant microenvironment
- Single cell resolution
