23 Jul BIOCHIP OF CELL STIMULATION AND DETECTION FOR STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION
Abstract
A method for preparing a biochip of cell stimulation and detection is provided to obtain the chip capable of applying mechanical stimulation to cells and also detecting and observing it at the same time with a single chip, thereby being used for stem cell, and applied to tissue engineering, medicals and pharmaceuticals. The method for fabricating a cell stimulation and detection bio-chip comprises the steps of: (a) applying a micro-machining process to a lower substrate made of silicone, glass or polymer to form a micro-channel, a stimulation chamber, and a detection chamber; (b) fabricating an inlet and an outlet of a fluid on an upper substrate using an electrochemical discharge machining process; (c) connecting the upper substrate to the lower substrate; and (d) attaching a driver for mechanical stimulation thereto.
