Mens konventionelle fotolitografi er en veletableret teknik til fremstilling af forme til blød litografi, det udstyr, materialer, og færdigheder er nødvendige for at bruge konventionel fotolitografi er ikke let tilgængelige for de fleste laboratorier. For laboratorier uden adgang til disse ressourcer, har vi præsenteret tape fabrikation som en metode til at skabe forme med relativt simple funktioner til mikrofluidenheder. Denne metode giver alle laboratorier til at skabe og udnytte mikrofluidenheder til forskningsf...

I tissue engineering og biosensorer, evnen til at styre den rumlige organisering af proteiner og celler på en um skala, er blevet stadig vigtigere i de sidste fire årtier 1, 2, 3. Præcise rumlige organisation af proteiner og celler har tilladt forskere til at undersøge interaktionen mellem celler og substrater, der indeholder tilsvarende eller forskellige typer af celler, til at vejlede cellevækst, og at immobilisere biomolekyler til fremstilling af biosensorer 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Aktuelle metoder til mønsterdannende proteiner omfatter photopatterning og microcontact udskrivning. Photopatterning udnytter lysfølsomt materiale, som er tværbundet ved udsættelse for Ultren violet (UV) lys. UV-lys rettet mod en fotomaske (bestående af gennemsigtige områder med mørkere områder for at forhindre UV-lys transmission) forårsager tværbinding i bestemte regioner, som derefter kan anvendes til efterfølgende binding af biomaterialer eller celler 10, 11. Mens denne ordning er meget præcis og giver mulighed for præcis styring af topografien af kulturen overflade, det er begrænset til UV-følsomme biomolekyler, som kan mønstrede ved UV-stråling 12. Microcontact udskrivning er en anden populær metode til mønstring specifikke proteiner 13, 14. Ved denne metode er en poly-dimethylsiloxan (PDMS) stempel behandlet med forskellige overflademodifikation reagenser inden de lægges i blød i en opløsning af den valgte biomolekylær substrat. Det er derefter forsigtigt presses på et dækglas eller en anden overflade således &quot;stempling&quot; biomolekylet på kultur overflade. However, er stempling begrænset til den type materiale, der kan overføres, samt befugteligheden af biomolekyler til overfladen af PDMS stempel 15. Direkte mønsterdannelse af celler kan være vanskeligere og er afhængig af komplekse metoder såsom omskiftelige substrater, stencil baserede metoder eller mønsterdannelse med specifikke celleadhæsionsmolekyler 16, 17. Disse fremgangsmåder er begrænset i deres evne til at mønster celler på grund af manglen på kompatible celleadhæsion substrater, inkompatibilitet af processen arbejder med følsomme biologiske celler og begrænsninger, inkonsistens i reproduktion af mønsterdannelse, og kompleksiteten af ​​proceduren. For eksempel med omskiftelige substrater, behøver tilpassede substrater at være designet til hver celletype, at skifte deres tilslutning til specifikke celletyper uden nedbrydning ved udsættelse for UV lys og varme, der anvendes i processen 17, &lt;<html> sup class = &quot;xref&quot;&gt; 18, 19, 20. Stencil baserede mønsterdannende metoder er alsidige i deres evne til mønster celler; Det er imidlertid vanskeligt at fremstille PDMS stencils på passende tykkelser til anvendelse 16, 21. Direkte injektion af celler i PDMS mikrofluidkanaler har nogle fordele, såsom: 1) lette i fremstilling af mikrofluide kanaler og 2) egnethed til mange forskellige celler og substrater. Men den udbredte udstedelse af luftboble indfangning under injektionsprocessen grund hydrofobicitet PDMS uden anvendelse af plasma rengøring, eller andre metoder til at formindske luftbobler, gør det vanskeligt at konsekvent skabe mønstrede celler på glas- eller plastoverflader 21. Dette arbejde udvider kapillar micromolding 22, 23,lass = &quot;xref&quot;&gt; 24, 25, 26 og rapporterer en metode til at injicere protein- og cellesuspensioner i mikrokanaler. Den anvendte metode her viser mønsterdannelse af substrater og både direkte og indirekte mønsterdannelse af specifikke celletyper. Denne teknik overvinder den høje hydrofobicitet PDMS og eliminerer tilstedeværelsen af bobler under indsprøjtning af enten substrater eller celler ved at drage fordel af gaspermeabilitet PDMS 27. Dette papir viser anvendelsen af ​​teknikken med flere forskellige substrater og celletyper. Artiklen fremhæver også fremstilling af forme til blød litografi hjælp konventionel fotolitografi samt en enkel og billig tape metoden anvendelig i ressource begrænsede indstillinger 28, 29.

a versatile method of patterning proteins and cells

Substrate and cell patterning techniques are widely used in cell biology to study cell-to-cell and cell-to-substrate interactions. Conventional patterning techniques work well only with simple shapes, small areas and selected bio-materials. This article describes a method to distribute cell suspensions as well as substrate solutions into complex, long, closed (dead-end) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels using negative pressure. This method enables researchers to pattern multiple substrates including fibronectin, collagen, antibodies (Sal-1), poly-D-lysine (PDL), and laminin. Patterning of substrates allows one to indirectly pattern a variety of cells. We have tested C2C12 myoblasts, the PC12 neuronal cell line, embryonic rat cortical neurons, and amphibian retinal neurons. In addition, we demonstrate that this technique can directly pattern fibroblasts in microfluidic channels via brief application of a low vacuum on cell suspensions. The low vacuum does not significantly decrease cell viability as shown by cell viability assays. Modifications are discussed for application of the method to different cell and substrate types. This technique allows researchers to pattern cells and proteins in specific patterns without the need for exotic materials or equipment and can be done in any laboratory with a vacuum.

Denne metode gør det muligt at mønstret af proteiner og indirekte mønster af celler ved hjælp af dead-end mikrofluide kanaler med dimensioner så små som 10 um og udstyr til rådighed i næsten alle biologiske laboratorier, når master formen er lavet. Denne teknik kan anvendes med PDMS mikrofluidkanaler skabt ved hjælp af traditionel blød fotolitografi, eller med PDMS mikrofluidkanaler oprettet med tape fabrikation (figur 1) 28,...
