Problems solved by technology

However, the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has the following problems: a complete hemisphere cannot be formed because it is not a method of delicately preparing a micro-hemisphere, and therefore, although a cell aggregate is formed, it cannot be completely separated from the micro-cavity during collection, and , even with a slight impact, the cells will separate out of the microcavities; moreover, the cells and cell aggregates are collected in a state where the shape of the cell aggregate is destroyed

Embodiment 1

[0074] Example 1: Fabrication of micro hemisphere array plate and cultivation of cell aggregates

[0075]

[0076] A photosensitive photoresist material is used in order to embody a micro-hemispherical pattern with a size of 500 um. In this case, the photosensitive photoresist material used can be Negative and Positive. In the present invention, the Negative form is used.

[0077] The photosensitive photoresist material is spin-coated in the 300um area to adjust the height of the micro-hemispheres, and the coated photoresist material can be visualized as the micro-hemispheres through over-vulcanization at a temperature of 150°C.

[0078] The first seed metal layer is placed on the micro-hemispherical array pattern formed on the silicon substrate using thin film evaporation equipment. At this time, titanium is used as the seed metal, and its height is The second metal layer uses nickel (Nickel), its height is The first and second metal thin film evaporation equipment used E-beam evap...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a micro-hemisphere array plate, a microfluidic device comprising the micro-hemisphere array plate, and a method for culturing a cell aggregate using the same. It is possible to form a cell aggregate having excellent condition if cells are cultured in three dimensions by using the method for manufacturing a micro-hemisphere array plate, the microfluidic device comprising the micro-hemisphere array plate, and the method for culturing a cell aggregate using the same according to the present invention. In particular, because cells are cultured in a condition more similar to an environment within the human body, it is possible to form a cell aggregate having a better condition than by existing cell-culturing methods. The cell aggregate cultured in the present invention can be directly used in cell therapy, and it is possible to culture and then obtain cells that are difficult to obtain artificially. Moreover, because cells are cultured under a condition similar to the human body, it is possible to form a cell aggregate of cells that are difficult to agglomerate in three dimensions. Also, it is possible to co-culture two or more kinds of cells, and in such a case, it is possible to form a cell aggregate of excellent quality because cells are cultured under a condition similar to the human body. Eventually, according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve a groundbreaking development in drug screening or cytotoxicity and in various tests.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a micro-hemispherical array plate, a microfluidic device including the micro-hemispherical array plate, and a method for culturing a cell assembly using the microfluidic device. Background technique [0002] Cells in the human body interact with surrounding cells and extracellular matrix to form a three-dimensional aggregate. The three-dimensional shape plays a very important role in the physiology of cells in biochemistry and mechanism. In particular, the cell aggregation formed into a three-dimensional shape is used in the research of cells constituting general tissues or organs, cancer cells, and stem cells for the development of new drugs, clinical research or research on the differentiation of stem cells Play a very important role. [0003] However, it is generally difficult to culture cells into a three-dimensional shape, and in particular, culturing human primary cells into a three-dimensional shape is ...
