Obesity-on-a-Chip Model Introduction

Creative Biolabs presents you with a novel, integrated microfluidic obesity-on-a-chip model for in situ, high-throughput, multiplexed analysis of cytokine secretion dynamics within a biomimetic adipose tissue microenvironment.

Formation of Obesity-on-a-Chip Model

Our integrated obesity-on-a-chip model consists of two components: a central adipose tissue culture chamber and a peripheral nanoplasmonic localized surface plasmon resonance sensing array. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer with an incubation chamber (4-mm central diameter) is fabricated and bound to cover glass for Obesity-on-a-chip culture. We use the predominant cells that are present in the crown-like structure and mediate inflammation in obese adipose tissue to form a biomimetic adipose tissue microenvironment.
