Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the main challenge in the control and detection of organ chips is that after the assembly is completed, it is a closed system, and conventional detection methods cannot regulate or detect the microenvironment inside the chip through the closed cover or substrate.
In order to realize the detection, it is necessary to design the interface of the detection system on the chip in advance. On the one hand, this increases the complexity of the chip. On the other hand, it is still difficult to detect the spatial distribution of each parameter in the microenvironment in this way.

Abstract

The invention discloses photopolymerization gel for self-feedback of hardness distribution via color and preparation method and application thereof. The gel is used for cytoskeleton and the preparation of the gel comprises the following steps of preparing pre-polymerization liquid; pouring the pre-polymerization liquid in two glass sheets which are placed in parallel and irradiating the glass sheets by using 365 nm ultraviolet light for polymerization; and in the process, regulating and controlling the mechanical property of the gel by using 254 nm and 365 nm ultraviolet light so as to obtaina cytoskeleton, the mechanical property of which is regionally distributed. The hardness and distribution of the modified cytoskeleton are displayed in a color manner, and the hardness distribution onthe cytoskeleton is read in site through shooting a photograph. The method is applied to multiple cell culture systems and is capable of controlling the properties of micro environments in real timeand guiding the behaviors of the cells thereon in site. Under the condition of not opening a chip and not adding detection equipment, the mechanical parameters of the regulated and controlled cytoskeleton and the relationship between the cellbehaviors and the properties of the cytoskeleton are directly obtained through color analysis, so that large application potential is provided.
