Microfluidic Organ-on-a-Chip (chip only) - Luer

This modular organ-on-a-chip represents an innovative approach to create 3D cell cultures and tissues with a precise and continuous control of culturing parameters. It is possible to mimic tissue organization, cell-cell interactions, extracellular matrix influence and physiological responses in a more in vivo-like environment. The inlets and outlets with integrated Luer connections ensure leak-free junctions with the tubing and allow experiments under dynamic flow conditions.

This modular microfluidic chip consists in two plastic plates in PC (Polycarbonate), each having four integrated magnets for a reversible access and an elastomeric PDMS thin film to ensure good sealing. The Luer connectors in the upper part of the chip allow medium perfusion and dynamic flow conditions during your drug screening and/or cell differentiation experiments.

  • Reversible patch integration thanks to the modular chip
  • Leak-free Luer connection molded with the chip 
  • Highly-resistant and optically clear material
  • Standard microscope glass slide size

The Culture Patches are not available anymore, but you can find their specifications on the discontinued product page.

Micro-chambers and micro-channels are patterned in both plastic plates of the chip to create two independent microfluidic systems: the upper and the lower chambers separated by the tissue patch. These two microfluidic chambers can be perfused with different culture media. Thus a tissue interface can be formed to simulate alveolar, stomach, intestine, kidney, liver, brain-blood, skin functions, etc.

Tissues inside the chip can be observed by microscopy or harvested for downstream analysis.

When assembled the chip withstands a pressure of up to 8 kPa. For higher pressures (up to 100 kPa), the chip can be placed in a hand screwed clamp for assembling and fast operation (the clamp is not included and can be ordered separately; click here for additional information). At the end of your experiment in dynamic flow conditions, the tissue patch can be easily removed by dissembling the clamps and the microfluidic chip. 

 

Applications

  • Neural or cardio-vascular networks-on-a-chip,
  • Gut-on-a-chip,
  • Liver-on-a-chip,
  • Skin-on-a-chip,
  • Lung-on-a-chip,
  • Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) or bone marrow-on-a-chip,
  • ESC or iPSC-derived stem cells (ESC/iPSC)-on-a-chip.

Integration of 4 microfluidic chips with different tissue patches can create a body-like circulatory or micro-physiological system to investigate the mutual influences of different tissues (a body-on-chip). For example, a co-culture of the human intestine, liver, skin, and kidney cells with a medium circulation loop could be assembled and represents a reliable platform for drug screening.
