Figure 1. Elements of the fetal liver on a chip device.

Figure 1.

a) Three structural components of the device frame include one glass slide, one slotted piece of silicon sheet cut to the same size as the slide, and an IBIDI sticky slide. b) Base slide is assembled by attaching silicone piece to the slide, followed by pouring hydrogel into the channel within the silicon sheet. A hydrophobic glass slide is placed on top of the gel to allow uniform polymerization. c) Hydrogel is covered with sulfo-SANPAH. d) Assembly of the microfluidic slide is complete after sticking the IBIDI slide to the top of the silicone sheet.
