Problems solved by technology

The device for studying the effect of fluid shear force on cells in vitro is a loading device developed according to the principle of rheology. The basic principle is to use the flowing culture medium to generate shear force on the cells attached to the culture substrate. The parallel plate flow chamber is currently the A fluid shear force experimental loading device commonly used at home and abroad, but it is difficult to generate fluid shear force with multiple ratio changes in the same parallel plate flow chamber

Abstract

The invention provides a micro-fluidic chip and a method for studying an effect of fluid shearing force on a cell with the micro-fluidic chip. The micro-fluidic chip is composed of four cell culture inserts and four fluid passages, wherein the four cell culture inserts have the same size and are parallel mutually; a cell culture insert a and a cell culture insert b share one cell injection port and one cell waste reservoir; a cell culture insert c and a cell culture insert d share one cell injection port and one cell waste reservoir; the upper ends of the four cell culture inserts are separately connected with the four fluid passages; the lower ends of the four cell culture inserts are connected with the same waste reservoir; and the four fluid passages collectively start from a nutrient solution injection port, with the tail ends being connected with the four cell culture inserts respectively. The micro-fluidic chip can be used for studying the effect of the fluid shearing force on the cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of applying microfluidic chip technology to biomedical research, and particularly provides a microfluidic chip and a method for studying the effect of fluid shear force on cells. Background technique [0002] Fluid flow is a key regulatory factor for bone tissue to detect and respond to mechanical stimuli. Under the action of external force, fluid flows from high-strain areas to low-strain areas, and various types of cells in bone tissue are continuously exposed to the shear force caused by fluid flow. A series of reactions take place in the force. The device for studying the effect of fluid shear force on cells in vitro is a loading device developed according to the principle of rheology. The basic principle is to use the flowing culture medium to generate shear force on the cells attached to the culture substrate. The parallel plate flow chamber is currently the A fluid shear force experimental loading device commo...
