Abstract

The invention relates to a microfluidic system for controlling the concentration profile of molecules capable of stimulating targets formed, for example, from assemblies of living cells, the system comprising: a microfluidic device (1) comprising a device for at least one fluid at least one microfluidic channel (4) of at least one inlet hole (21) and at least one outlet hole (22); at least A device; at least one chamber (8) or another microfluidic channel comprising a base (6) for receiving said target; and connecting said chamber (8) or another microfluidic channel to said at least one microporous film (5) separated by the microfluidic channel (4), the microporous film (5) being arranged away from the base (6), so that when the supply mechanism supplies the microfluidic channel (4) When said at least one fluid is supplied to flow in laminar flow in contact with said microporous membrane (5), the molecules capable of stimulating the target after having passed through the microporous membrane (5) through the chamber (8) or another After the microfluidic channel, diffusion is then followed to finally form a stable concentration profile in the chamber (8) or in the further microfluidic channel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of microfluidics. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic application systems have micron dimensions, with dimensions typically ranging from tens of microns to hundreds of microns. [0003] The system can be used in many fields, for example, cell diagnostic tests, medical product development, basic biological sciences or cosmetology. [0004] In said field, there is an increasing demand for microfluidic systems for the quantitative determination of the response (response) of living cells to certain molecules, and in particular to spatially and temporally controlled concentration profiles. [0005] For example, there may be the problem of measuring the response of cancer cells to molecules used in chemotherapy. Precise measurement of this reaction requires the exercise of control over the molecules that produce the reaction. The control may relate to the number of molecules interacting with the cancer cel...
