A novel microfluidic self-perfusion chip (MSPC) for pumpless 3D cell, microtissue and organoid culture

= 0.95) between the pore size and fluid evaporation rate. This ensures consistent fluid flow and effective waste removal, shown by lower ammonia and lactate levels compared to conventional cultures. Its unidirectional flow system and integrated one-way valve maintain cell viability, even under complete evaporation conditions. This innovative platform facilitates the cultivation of complex tissue-like structures, providing a valuable tool for tissue and organ model development, as well as drug screening and toxicity testing. By addressing key limitations of traditional systems, our adjustable MSPC represents a significant advancement in microfluidic cell culture technology, offering improved accessibility and applicability in biological research.
