  • Microfluidic device for cell culture
    Patent number: 8679843
    Abstract: A microfluidic cell culture apparatus includes a cell retention chamber and a perfusion channel. The cell retention chamber has a structured surface. The structured surface includes a major surface from which a plurality of projections extends into the chamber. The plurality of projections are arranged to suspend cells cultured in the chamber above the major surface. The first perfusion channel is configured to provide laminar flow of a fluid through the channel and forms a plurality of openings in communication with the cell retention chamber. The openings are configured to prevent cells from the retention chamber from entering the perfusion channel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2014
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated
    Inventors: Ronald Allen Faris, Vasiliy Nikolaevich Goral, Miya Yi-Cheng Hsieh, Odessa Natalie Petzold, Po Ki Yuen
