Creative Biolabs has developed in vitro barrier on-a-chip model which provides a dynamic physicochemical microenvironment for maintaining the barrier function of tissues. Our model provides you with a novel way to investigate these barriers in diseases, which might reveal new mechanisms and treatments.
Our barrier on-a-chip model includes two polystyrene compartments and a central layer for tissue culture. The central layer is composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a thin layer of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tape to seal a membrane or scaffold at the center. The basal compartment includes a fluidic channel and inlet/outlet channels for perfusion with culture media or flow-through of a receiver solution in an in vitro test. The apical compartment presents the same fluidic structure and can be used for perfusion of culture medium or ventilation. An exploded view of the chip model. The design includes integrated magnets to correctly seal the cell culture layer between the apical and basal compartments.
