The syringe pump is an adjustable device generating a flow rate by volume displacement of liquid in the syringe body. The flow rate is calculated according to the section and the speed of the piston movement [Q=Spiston x νpiston]. The pressure applied to the assembly is not controlled and depends on … View All Blog

Generally, hydrogels have been utilized as scaffold materials for the immobilization of cells in a microfluidic chip. Different strategies have been employed for the preparation of three-dimensional cell-hydrogel scaffolds. In this review, we discuss the main hydrogels that can be used in microflui … View All Blog

Microfluidic chips can provide a biomimetic environment for cell and tissue culture, preserving key aspects of the biological system while integrating downstream analysis. It is even possible to go further by integrating a continuous supply of nutrients via recirculation of the medium. In this tutor … View All Blog

In this tutorial, we detail all the steps involved in the manufacture of a microfluidic device, through the example of a double emulsion and trapping chip. This protocol, inspired and extracted from the articles written by Ho, Lee and Liu published in 2016 in Scientific Reports and by Kole et al. pu … View All Blog
