Abstract
Standardized high-throughput devices for microfluidic cell cultures are necessary to translate discoveries made in academia to applications in pharmaceutical industry. Here we present a platform with integrated pneumatic valves for standardized parallelization of multichamber chips (SPARC). In total, 192 chambers divided over three microfluidic building blocks (MFBBs) can be filled and purged with spatial and temporal independence. The dimensions of both the MFBB and the platform are standardized and thus compatible with common lab equipment. We characterize the valves at different pumping and gate pressures and show that the MFBBs are suitable for culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).
