The current research engineered a pumpless energy-efficient microfluidic perfusion cell
culture chip that works by modifying the basic gravity-driven siphon flow using an
intravenous (IV) infusion set as a conventional, inexpensive, and sterile tool. The IV set was
modified to control the constant hydrostatic head difference, thereby maintaining the steady
flow rate medium perfusion. The micro-bioreactor chip demonstrated flexibility in controlling
a wide range of flow rates from 0.1 to 10ml/min, among which 1-and 5-ml/min flow rates …
The current research engineered a pumpless energy-efficient microfluidic perfusion cell culture chip that works by modifying the basic gravity-driven siphon flow using an intravenous (IV) infusion set as a conventional, inexpensive, and sterile tool. The IV set was modified to control the constant hydrostatic head difference, thereby maintaining the steady flow rate medium perfusion. The micro-bioreactor chip demonstrated flexibility in controlling a wide range of flow rates from 0.1 to 10ml/min, among which 1- and 5-ml/min flow rates were examined as suitable shear flows for long-term dermal fibroblast cell culture, paving the way for artificial skin development.
