The present invention relates to a microfluidic device (1) for forming a
cell aggregate comprising at least one first
cell (C1) and one second
cell (C2), and for individually
processing selected cells of the cell aggregate: -
Microfluidic channel (10); - At least one main inlet (11) for fluids containing a first cell, a second cell, and a third cell, respectively, located in the first portion (101) of the
microfluidic channel; - An outlet (12) located in the second portion (102) of the
microfluidic channel for controlling the flow rate of fluid within the
microfluidic channel; - A first auxiliary inlet (131) for at least one first auxiliary fluid, located in the first portion (101) of the microfluidic channel upstream or downstream of the main inlet (11); - At least one
cell trapping section (14) positioned between the first and second parts within the microfluidic channel; - At least one first valve to control the flow rate of the first auxiliary fluid, causing the fluid containing the first cells and the second cells to flow at a predetermined height within the microfluidic channel, thereby guiding the first cells and the second cells to the first and second capture units, respectively. Equipped with, The microfluidic device relates to a microfluidic device in which each cell capture section (14) comprises at least one first capture section (141) and one second capture section (142), each first and second capture section being sized to accommodate a first or second cell, the first and second capture sections being adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to the bottom (100) of the microfluidic channel, and forming a cell aggregate containing the captured first and second cells, each cell being at a different height relative to the bottom of the microfluidic channel.
