Abstract
This paper presents beneficial data when deciding to perform cell experiments in lab-on- a-chip devices. The choice of material can influence the viability of mammalian cells. PDMS, precoated with serum or not, suits well for HL60 cells, demonstrating the best results in the viability experiments, as expressed as an apoptosis/proliferation ratio < 1. We also looked at other materials, such as native silicon-oxide (SiO2) and borosilicate glass. In the near future other (combinations) of microchip materials will be analyzed for their viability as well as analyzing the effect of mammalian cells on microchip materials in more detail with MALDI-MS.
