    Abstract

    We propose a microfluidics-based cell-culture platform for the screening of trace elements in bone tissue engineering. With this platform, it is possible to create four stable, independent and perpendicular diffusion-based concentration gradients in a single square chamber, in which cells are cultured. This allows examining the combined effect of four compounds in a single assay.
