Measurement of respiration and acidification rates of mammalian cells in thermoplastic microfluidic devices

Bernhard Mueller et al.

Summary: We proposed a microfluidic cell culture device with integrated optical chemical sensors for monitoring dissolved oxygen, pH levels, respiration, and acidification rates. A thermoplastic polymer chip material enabled the measurement of respiration rates, not feasible with PDMS-based microfluidics. This measurement method was successfully demonstrated in monitoring the metabolic response of human lung carcinoma cells to a specific drug exposure.

Bridging the academic-industrial gap: application of an oxygen and pH sensor-integrated lab-on-a-chip in nanotoxicology

Helene Zirath et al.

Summary: The article discusses the limitations in the translation of advanced cell-based assays due to the lack of industrial-relevant prototypes, focusing on the development of a dual-sensor integrated microfluidic cell analysis platform for risk assessment studies of engineered nanoparticles. By utilizing optical sensor spots in a COC-based microfluidic platform, the platform allows for non-invasive and time-resolved monitoring of cellular oxygen uptake and metabolic activity, enabling rapid detection of cytotoxicities in nanotoxicological studies. Results show the platform's suitability as a pre-screening tool in nanomaterial risk assessment and as a quality control measure in medium to high-throughput settings.

Contact photolithography-free integration of patterned and semi-transparent indium tin oxide stimulation electrodes into polydimethylsiloxane-based heart-on-a-chip devices for streamlining physiological recordings

Joycelyn K. Yip et al.

Summary: Integrating conductive, semi-transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes into heart-on-a-chip devices allows for successful stimulation of cardiac tissues, generating calcium transients or propagating calcium waves, as well as quantifying contraction. This approach is relatively straightforward, modular, and scalable, with diverse potential applications in microphysiological systems.
