Tri-culture & continious connectivity

With the TriaLink microfluidic chip, the microchannels and NeoBento™ technologies are combined in a single microfluidic chip, to provide an unmatched user experience combined with the ability to culture up to 3 different cell types.

  • • Human cells
  • • Rodent cells
  • • Immunofluorescence
  • • Live Dead Assays
  • • Live staining
  • • Liquid chromatography
  • • Mass Spectoscopy
  • • Lysis cells/supernatant analysis
  • • ELISA
  • • Calcium Imaging
  • • Culture up to 3 different cell populations (neurons/glial cells or neurons/skin cells...)
  • • Cell migration/chemotaxis (microglia cells for example)
  • • Stress effect on skin cells (ROS...)
  • • Neuroinflammation (Multiple sclerosis, Cerebral tumors...)
Microchannels grooves: Microchannels grooves rectangular slits engraved within the PDMS layer. Due to their micrometric measurements (3µm height, 5µm width), only cell extensions like for example neurites can grow within the microchannels, leaving the cell bodies within the compartments themselves. They allow also an enhanced axonal projection rate and continuous connectivity.
NeoBento™: The NeoBento™ format makes NETRI’s microfluidic devices as versatile and easy to handle as a typical 96-well plate, by being in the standard AINSI format. The NeoBento™ is compatible with routine control magnification imaging (x10, x20,...) and confocal or high magnification (x63 with water immersion) imaging. Its versatility allows users to perform High Throughput Screening, histochemical analysis and individual cell fixation. Finally, its compounds permit an optimized oxygenation without expensive equipment (pump or stirrer) and a controlled humidity of cell culture.
