Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional single cell culture chip realized based on a micro-fabrication technology, and belongs to bio micro electro mechanical systems (Bio-MEMS). The chip comprises cavities distributed in an array; adjacent cavities are connected with each other through a micro groove; the depth of the micro groove is consistent with the height of the cavities; and the bottoms of the cavities are provided with nano projections. According to difference of adhesion of cells on the surface of blank polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and on the surface of PDMS with a nano micro morphology structure and by combining a surface topology pattern, the chip realizes cell patterning culture. The chip can be used for cell culture without chemical or biological reagents, overcomes a defect of low stability of the conventional patterning method, has the characteristics of durable and stable pattern, controllable preparation process and the like, and can meet the requirement of batch production. Meanwhile, a patterning design that the cavities are connected through micro grooves is adopted, and the research on the interaction of cells can be realized.

Description

[0001] Field [0002] The invention relates to a three-dimensional single-cell culture chip realized based on microfabrication technology, and belongs to the field of biological micro-electromechanical systems (Bio-MEMS). Background technique [0003] As an experimental tool for anchorage-dependent cell research and behavior control, micropatterned single-cell culture chips have broad applications in basic cell biology, life sciences, tissue engineering, drug screening, and cell-based biosensors. prospect. [0004] The typical representative used to achieve cell micropatterning is microcontact printing technology, which is a method of indirectly realizing cell patterning with the help of intermediate patterns. The stability of intermediate patterns is directly related to the success or failure of cell pattern construction. Due to the problems of protein "inactivation" and protein desorption, and the lack of high density of self-assembled molecular layers, the stability of cel...
