  • Publication number: 20200216790
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microfluidic device which has at least one first culture chamber with cardiac muscular cells, at least one microfluidic channel, at least one pump (for example a micropump), and at least one detector, said detector being configured to detect an activity of the cardiac muscular cells contained in the culture chamber. The microfluidic device additionally contains at least one controller which is configured to control the at least one pump on the basis of the cardiac muscular cell activity detected by the at least one detector. The invention additionally relates to uses of the microfluidic device.
