Figure 1. Cell culture chamber with electrical stimulation.

Figure 1

(A) Electropolymerization setup: thin films of electroconductive polymer polypyrrole (PPy) were formed on indium tin oxide (ITO) slides via electropolymerization. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM, 20,000x magnification) image in the inset indicates the smooth PPy surface after electropolymerization; scale: 1 μm. (B) Assembly of cell culture devices: the individual Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) wells formed on the PPy slide. Wires soldered to adhesive copper tape were attached to the ends of each side of the slide to enable electrical stimulation. (C-D) Completed cell culture chamber: 3D rendering and photograph, respectively.
