Abstract: The present apparatus is a hybrid system that can use human tissue and/or cells coupled with a hydrogel and can use tissue explants (biopsies). The system is implemented in an embodiment by use of an actuator and a holder. The actuator is implemented with a one or more of chambers of a plurality of shapes, with each chamber addressable by an associated single inlet. In one embodiment, the holder comprises one or more independent chambers where cells or biopsies can be placed. In one embodiment, the holder is coupled to the actuator via the use of guides, threads, and the like that allow one part to slide into the other.
