Abstract

To translate Organ-on-Chips (OoCs) from academic proof-of-concept into commercially available systems, automation of fluid handling is essential. Integrated valves allow parallelization and automation, which are valuable tools for multiplex in vitro cell culture systems. Here, we show the fabrication of two devices, containing 8 culture chambers or 4 OoCs, each consisting of a top and a bottom channel. We show that all chambers and channels are individually addressable by actuation of the integrated pneumatic valves. An initial cell culture experiment shows that the device is suitable for cell culture.
