Realizing environment for optimum cell culture using an integrated microfluid
Cells have been used earnestly for medical care such as in regenerative medicine in recent years, and cell culture process has been growing complex. We are developing an integrated microfluid system that can be described as an “integrated circuit for liquids”. This will contribute to the realization of an advanced cell culture with a single chip. We are developing a fluid control system with a wide operating range of pericellular fluid dynamic parameters that is also compact in size and easy-to-use in addition to a peripheral system for the long-term maintenance of cell culture.
