Organ-on-a-chip with integrated semitransparent organic electrodes for barrier function monitoring

Denise Marrero et al.

Summary: Organs-on-a-chip (OoC) are cell culture platforms that replicate key functional units of tissues in vitro. Barrier integrity and permeability evaluation are of utmost importance when studying barrier-forming tissues. Impedance spectroscopy is a powerful tool and is widely used to monitor barrier permeability and integrity in real-time. However, data comparison across devices is misleading due to the generation of a non-homogenous field across the tissue barrier, making impedance data normalization very challenging. In this work, we address this issue by integrating PEDOT:PSS electrodes for barrier function monitoring with impedance spectroscopy. The semitransparent PEDOT:PSS electrodes cover the entire cell culture membrane providing a homogenous electric field across the entire membrane making the cell culture area equally accountable to the measured impedance. To the best of our knowledge, PEDOT:PSS has never been used solely to monitor the impedance of cellular barriers while enabling optical inspection in the OoC. The performance of the device is demonstrated by lining the device with intestinal cells where we monitored barrier formation under flow conditions, as well as barrier disruption and recovery under exposure to a permeability enhancer. The barrier tightness and integrity, and the intercellular cleft have been evaluated by analyzing the full impedance spectrum. Furthermore, the device is autoclavable paving the way toward more sustainable OoC options.

Organic electronic transmembrane device for hosting and monitoring 3D cell cultures

Charalampos Pitsalidis et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel multiwell plate bioelectronic platform, called e-transmembrane, was developed to support and monitor complex 3D cell structures. The e-transmembrane, made of PEDOT:PSS, functions as both a separating membrane for compartmentalized cell cultures and electronic components for real-time recordings. Its high surface area-to-volume ratio allows the generation of deep tissues and cell polarization. Impedance spectroscopy measurements can identify different cellular systems and extract critical functional parameters. This platform has the potential to be a universal tool for high-throughput drug screening assays.
