Abstract

A nanoliter scale microbioreactor array was designed for multiplexed quantitative cell biology. An addressable 8x8 array of 3 nanoliter chambers was demonstrated for observing the serum response of HeLa human cancer cells in 64 parallel cultures over 5 days. The microbioreactor array provided a continuous flow culture environment with a Peclet number (0.02) and shear stress (0.01 Pa) that approximated in vivo tissue conditions without limiting mass transport (10 s nutrient turnover). This microfluidic design overcomes the major problems encountered in multiplexing nanoliter culture environments by enabling uniform cell loading and eliminating shear and pressure stresses on cultured cells.
