---|---|
Short Description |
New and unique tissue culture microdevice (bioMEMS) technology allowing investigators to interrogate epithelial cells in a controlled manner. |
Abstract |
A two-sided flow-through cell layer measurement device includes a first zone, a second zone, and a porous membrane between the first and second zones. A tissue sample includes the cell layer on the porous membrane. A fluid is on at least one side of the tissue. The flow through chamber permits simultaneous optical and electrical measurements of the cell layer. Properties of the cell layer, for example response to drugs or toxins, are determined based on the optical and electrical measurements. |
