Virus & protein transport

Compartmentalized devices of the NeuroFluidics™ line allow to fluidically isolate two or more cellular populations, even when connected by microchannels. When using neurons, geometrical constraints due to microchannels allows neurites to grow and create functional compartment with distal neurons, both in a unidirectional or bidirectional way. Thanks to the fluidic isolation between compartments, a virus or protein can be applied to one cell population only and their transport can be monitored on the remote compartment or within the axons themselves.
