    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a microfluidic device comprising a first compartment comprising an inlet that is connectable to a fluidic control unit and a second compartment, wherein the first and second compartments are connected by a micrometer channel so as to allow fluid communication between the two compartments. The device also comprises an air-lock element in fluid communication with the second compartment and the air-lock element is configured so that in use the internal atmosphere of the device is sealed from the external atmosphere and so that when fluid is introduced or withdrawn from the first compartment via the inlet the air-lock element maintains an overall constant pressure within the device. The present invention is also directed towards a method of manufacturing the microfluidic device, a kit-of-parts comprising the microfluidic device and a method of using the microfluidic device for accommodating, growing, culturing, isolating, treating and/or processing cells.
