Patent number: 11820966Abstract: A perfusion manifold assembly is described that allows for perfusion of a microfluidic device, such as an organ on a chip microfluidic device comprising cells that mimic cells in an organ in the body, that is detachably linked with said assembly so that fluid enters ports of the microfluidic device from a fluid reservoir, optionally without tubing, at a controllable flow rate. A culture module is contemplated that allows the perfusion and optionally mechanical actuation of one or more microfluidic devices, such as organ-on-a-chip microfluidic devices comprising cells that mimic at least one function of an organ in the body.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: EMULATE, INC.Inventors: Christopher David Hinojosa, Guy Robert Thompson, II, Joshua Gomes, Jacob Freake, Doug Sabin

Patent number: 11597899Abstract: The devices, methods and systems are described for providing controlled amounts of gas, gas pressure and vacuum to microfluidic devices the culturing of cells under flow conditions. The devices, methods, and systems contemplated here may also be used to control the environment surrounding the microfluidic devices; offer user control over experiments comprising microfluidic devices, such as the ability to directly or remotely control experiment conditions; and comprise information aggregation and transmission, such that experimental data may be collected, stored, aggregated and transmitted to users.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: EMULATE, INC.Inventors: Lewis Rowe, Craig Henshaw, Joshua Gomes, Guy Robert Thompson, II, David James Coon, Christopher David Hinojosa
