Patent ID: 11326138

Abstract:
Provided herein is a tissue culture device and a method of forming a tissue culture device. The tissue culture device includes a microfluidic layer including at least one hydrophobic microchannel and a reservoir portion over the at least one hydrophobic microchannel, the reservoir portion including an opening aligned with the at least one hydrophobic microchannel. The method of forming a tissue culture device includes providing a microfluidic layer mold, a reservoir layer mold, and a removable lid mold, filling each of the molds with a device material, curing the device material within the molds, removing the cured device material from the molds to provide a microfluidic layer, a reservoir layer, and a removable lid, and bonding the microfluidic layer to the reservoir layer. A method of culturing tissue with the tissue culture device is also provided herein.
