Problems solved by technology

The operability of this method needs to be improved, and the pressure is not easy to control
[0004] At present, microfluidic chips and systems containing microfluidic chips have been widely used in many technical fields, especially in the field of cell biology technology, while in related technical fields such as simulating high blood pressure, it is necessary to apply a certain pressure during the cell culture process. Close to the physiological environment in vivo, so far there has been no report on the microfluidic chip culture system with pressurized operation

Embodiment 1

[0030] Example 1 Microfluidic chip-based pressurized cell culture system and method

[0031] Such as figure 1 As shown, the microfluidic chip-based pressurized cell culture system includes a syringe pump, a microfluidic chip and a pressure gauge, the syringe pump and the pressure gauge are respectively connected to the microfluidic chip through flexible tubes, and the syringe pump and the pressure gauge are respectively connected to the microfluidic chip. Pressure gauges are located on both sides of the microfluidic chip. When the pressurized cell culture system of this connection mode is used, the cells cultured in the channel of the microfluidic chip bear both pressure and flow shear force.

[0032] The microfluidic chip is made of PDMS and glass, and has a straight channel chip structure, in which there is only one channel, which is 3 cm long, 2 mm wide, and 200 μm high.

[0033] First, the cells were seeded into the channel, and after the cells adhered to the wall and gr...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of cell biology and cell mechanics, in particular to a microfluidic chip-based cell pressurized culture system and method. Background technique [0002] In 1990, Swiss scientists Manz and Widmer proposed the concept of Micrototal analysis system (Micrototal analysis system), whose goal is to integrate the functions of the entire analytical laboratory into a portable device or even a tiny chip. Therefore, the micro-total analysis system is also called "Lab-on-a-chip (LOC)". The microfluidic chip (Microfluidic chip) is an important part of the LOC, and its main feature is that the effective structure containing the fluid (including channels, reactors and other functional units) is micron-scale in at least one dimension. Based on micro-electromechanical processing technology, microfluidic chips manufacture channels on silicon wafers, glass or PDMS and integrate drive and inspection devices. Through the contro...
