一、INTEGRATION CHIPS
INTEGRATION CHIPS
The integration chips are formed with two plastic plates, each having an elastomeric thin film to ensure good sealing when clamped. They are typically used for patch and filter integration for which micro-chambers and micro-channels are predefined in both plastic plates.
For filtration, one inlet (outlet) channel is patterned on the upper (lower) plate with a Luer connector. An elastomeric thin film with some removed areas can be added to improved the sealing. Similarly, inlet and outlet chambers are patterned in both plates for organ on-a-chip applications. When a tissue patch is placed between the two plates, culture media containing different factors can flow in the upper and lower chambers separated by the patch so tissue model such as skin, alveolar, stomach, brain-blood are envisaged.
Good sealing is achievable with a loose-leaf clamp or screw enhanced assembling. After fluidic processing with the chip, the integrated elements can be released for other operations.
二、INTEGRATED CHIPS
Example of integrated chip with Luer connectors
Integrated chips are manufactured by mass production. The basic element of the chip (upper part) is a plastic plate with standard Luer connectors and an elastomeric thin film for conformal contact with the lower part in which microfluidic circuits can be patterned. While the lower part can be a sheet in plastic, elastomeric, glass, silicon or other materials, standard elements such as mixing Y-channels, gradient Xmas trees, droplet generators, etc. can be patterned. The upper and the lower part of the chip can be reversely or irreversibly assembled.
With a simple mechanic clamp, good sealing is achievable. Otherwise, MesoBioTech offers irreversibly assembled devices for common uses.

五、CULTURE PATCH
Culture patch with monolayer nano-filers on a frame
Culture patch is a device of monolayer nanofibers deposited on a patterned microframe. It is morphologically and materially in-vivo like extracellular matrix. Typically, it is used for off-ground cell culture. When used for culture and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, it allows minimizing the exogenous contact and increasing the nutrient uptake as well as the tissue organization. It is compatible not only with the conventional tools such as culture dish, multi-wells and Boyden chambers but also with advanced assay.

六、ORGAN ON-A-CHIP
Microfluidic device for patch integration
Integration of a tissue patch into a chip gives rise to organ on-a-chip models. Typically, a tissue patch made two types of cells are inserted in the interface of two elastoplastic plates. After clamping, solutions are injected to create physiological conditions.
One examples is alveolus modeling. By differentiating hiPSCs into epithelial and endothelial cells on upper and lower side of a culture patch, an alveolar tissue is obtained and then integrated into a microfluidic devise to recapitulate the pulmonary physiological conditions. By injecting cell factors and/or nano-materials, it is possible to study the translocation effect at the alveolar epithelium level.
Organ on-a-chop model with different tissue patches
More generally, integration of several tissue patches of different cell types into a microfluidic system will allow creating a body-like circulatory or micro-physiological system to investigate the mutual influences of different tissues. For example, one can co-culture of human intestine, liver, skin and kidney cells with a medium circulation loop for drug testing.
七、TISSUE PATCH
Tissue patch
Tissue patches are mostly derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). By changing the culture parameters, flat and hemisphere colonies are generated in each of the honeycomb compartment. Homogeneous cardiac and neuron tissues are produced, showing up-regulated gene expression of the specific proteins and regular beating or spontaneous firing.
When placed on a multi-electrode array, characteristic drug responses are observed. Tissue patches of co-cultured two cell layers are available, enabling different tissue models. More sophisticated tissue patches are also obtainable for three-dimensional tissue modeling.

八、CULTURE CONTROLLER
? Culture Controller? is a prototype for long-term culture and differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiSPCs). It is designed for in-vivo mimicking of nutrient feeding in a perfusion-diffusion regime. It allows reducing time and laborious efforts as well as risks of contamination.
Control Unit
Typically, a ?Culture Controller? is composed of a central unit to control micro-flow processing, a culture unit placed in an incubator and a cold unit to store and supply culture media with selected factors. The whole hiPSC differentiation processes can then be programmed with minimum human intervention and good reproducibility.
The center unit of the system can also be combined with other fluidic element, allowing automated cell sorting, labeling, SEM sample preparing, etc.
The system is applicable to both dish and chip based assays as well as Culture Patch and Tissue Patch developed by MesoBioTech. More sophisticated culture systems are under exploration.
