Design Schematics
The figure above displays a fluid pump that inserts fluids through the glass channel, which is inside a microfluidic chip. The channel is molded with a silicon wafer and sealed to glass through the chemical PDMS. The inlets are formed with Tygon tubing.
Features:
- Syringe Pump via Tygon Tubing to control and measure the amount of shear stress applied.
- Small Mechanical Vacuum Piston to apply stress to the cultured cells
- 50mm x 60mm Microfluidic Chip with glass channel to act as a perfusion chamber for microscopic analysis
- Erlenmeyer Mask to filtrate the biochemical waste and excess that collects in the system.
- Open Glass channel with a diameter of 15mm(dimensions of an artery) lined with cultured endothelial cells.
- Inlet Tubes of 20 mm diameter that transport the fluid through and out of the glass channel
- Cultured Human Umbilical Chord Endothelial Cells
