The hanging-drop network (HDN) is a technology platform based on a completely open microfluidic network at the bottom of an inverted, surface-patterned substrate. The platform is predominantly used for the formation, culturing, and interaction of self-assembled spherical microtissues (spheroids) under precisely controlled flow conditions. Here, we describe design, fabrication, and operation of microfluidic hanging-drop networks.
悬滴网络(HDN)是一种基于倒置的、表面有图案的基板底部完全开放的微流控网络的技术平台。该平台主要用于在精确控制的流动条件下自组装球形微组织(球体)的形成、培养和相互作用。在此,我们描述微流控悬滴网络的设计、制造和操作。
