  • COMPOUND DISTRIBUTION IN MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20220334139
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of microfluidics and compound distribution within microfluidic devices and their associated systems. In one embodiment, present invention aims to solve the problem of molecule and compound absorbency into the materials making up laboratory equipment, microfluidic devices and their related infrastructure, without unduly restricting gas transport within microfluidic devices.

  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USING PARTIAL GEL LAYERS IN A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20220106547
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of gels for cell cultures, including but not limited to microfluidic devices and transwell devices, for culturing cells, such as organ cells, e.g. airway cells, intestinal cells, etc., and co-culturing cells, (e.g. parenchymal cells and endothelial cells, etc). As one example, the use of gels results in improved lung cell cultures, such as when using transwells and microfluidic devices, (e.g. for culturing healthy airway epithelial cells, culturing diseased airway epithelial cells, e.g., CF epithelial cells that are ciliated). The present invention relates to fluidic devices, methods and systems for use with gel layers within a microfluidic device. In particular, a partial gel layer is disposed within a microchannel of a microfluidic device. For example, a partial gel layer has a thickness ranging between approximately 20-100 ?m. A dilute partial gel layer of less than 100 ?m may be formed from a polymer solution of 0.5 mg/ml.
