Abstract

Pneumatic micro-valve controlled microfluidic chip provides precise fluidic control for cell manipulation. In this paper, a multi-functional microfluidic chip was designed for three separate experiments: 1. Different cell lines were dispensed and cultured; 2. Three transfected SH-SY5Y cells were introduced and treated with methyl-phenyl-pyridinium (MPP+) as drug delivery mode; 3. Specific protection and interaction were observed among cell co-culture after nerve damage. The outcomes revealed the potential and practicability of our entire multi-functional pneumatic chip system on different cell biology applications.
