In this article, we present a simple, rapid prototyped polystyrene-based microfluidic device with three-dimensional (3D) interconnected microporous walls for long term perfusion cell culture. Patterned 3D interconnected microporous structures were created by a chemical treatment together with a protective mask and the native hydrophobic nature of the microporous structures were selectively made hydrophilic using oxygen plasma treatment together with a protective mask. Using this polystyrene-based cell culture microfluidic device, we successfully demonstrated the support of four days perfusion cell culture of hepatocytes (C3A cells).
本文提出了一种简单、快速原型化的基于聚苯乙烯的微流控装置,具有三维(3D)互连的微孔壁,用于长期灌注细胞培养。通过化学处理、保护罩以及微孔结构的固有疏水性,共同创造出具有图案的 3D 互连微孔结构,然后使用氧气等离子体处理和保护罩,选择性地将其亲水化。使用这种基于聚苯乙烯的细胞培养微流控装置,我们成功地演示了支持肝实质细胞(C3A 细胞)四天灌注培养的能力。
