Our team designed and 3D-printed a cell viewing device, then used 100 ยตm glass beads to mimic cell-sized particles and visualize their movement under flow.

From design to flow testing, the entire process was completed right at the bench.

Microfluidic testing can be easier than you think. Try it at your own bench.

How much effort does it take to go from a microfluidic design to a device you can actually use to view cells?

For us, it was just ๐Ÿ‘ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ๐ฌ.
And all done at the benchside.

For this cell viewing device, our workflow was:

โ€ข Pour the Cyto-Clear Photopolymer
โ€ข Print on the ProFluidics 285D
โ€ข Clean with IPA
โ€ข Cure for 1 hour

From design to a testable device, the entire workflow can be completed in a day.

No cleanroom.
No outsourcing.
No delays.

We then introduced 100 ยตm glass beads as a cell-sized particle mimic and observed their movement under flow.

The goal is simple: spend less time waiting for fabrication and more time testing your ideas.

Can you actually see cell-sized particles moving through a 3D-printed microfluidic device?

This week, our team 3D-printed a ๐œ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž and put it to the test.

Using 100 ยตm glass beads as a cell-sized particle mimic, we introduced a suspension into the microchannel and observed the particles moving under a microscope.

We could clearly see the particles moving through the channel under flow, giving us a direct view of particle behaviour inside the device.

Cell viewing devices like this can help researchers study cell movement and behaviour under flow, as well as cellโ€“flow interactions in a controlled microfluidic environment.
