Abstract

Current organ-on-chip devices suffer from lack of throughput. A multiplexed two-layer device with transparent, through-hole polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane was developed. This device allows individually addressable cell cultures in a single chip without cross-talk between them. By co-culturing human cerebral microvascular endothelial hCMEC/D3 cells and human astrocytes, the Blood-Brain Barrier was emulated. The visual inspection of cells inside the device was significantly improved with fabricated 2 µm thick membrane.
