However, sub-cellular resolution 3D imaging of these biological samples remains a challenge. Histology, the gold standard for <em>ex vivo</em> microscopic interrogation of tissue anatomy, may address this challenge once the associated techniques are adapted. Due to their small size and delicate structure, organoids must be embedded in a supporting hydrogel. The histological sections have low information content because the distribution of the organoids within the gel is not controlled. To address this issue, we introduce an acoustic micromanipulation platform that concentrates and aligns organoids within a histology-compatible hydrogel block. Utilizing an array of micromachined lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers, the platform generates localised and precisely controlled acoustic standing waves to levitate organoids to a prescribed plane and fix their positions within a polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)-gelatine hydrogel. Organoids from different culture conditions can be co-embedded in a traceable fashion with the use of a custom-design hydrogel grid. Our results demonstrate that more than 70% of spheroids can be positioned within a 150 μm-thick hydrogel block, substantially increasing the information content of histology sections.

The incorporation of hydrophilic polymers on sensing surfaces is effective against antifouling. However, such an approach can reduce the density of the capture antibody, resulting in a decrease in sensitivity and signal output. Here, both high sensitivity and antifouling properties were achieved using a porous-membrane-based immunosensor. This sensor can drastically mitigate the signal reduction due to the introduction of an antifouling moiety by antibody densification in submicron-scaled pores. The ideal ratio of the receptor/antifouling moiety was estimated from numerical modeling. The high sensitivity and antifouling properties of the designed sensor were demonstrated via the detection test of interleukin-6 (IL-6). The proposed sensor exhibited excellent antifouling and high sensitivity with limits of detection of 4.8 and 1.2 pg mL-1 in artificial saliva and serum, respectively.

A reliable, scalable, and physiologically relevant ear model can accelerate the development of hearing-loss protection therapeutics for injury prevention and hearing restoration. The challenge remains on screening delivery systems for regenerative compounds, and no <em>in vitro</em> screening systems exist that capture the complexity of inner ear properties. Here, we present a high-throughput, microphysiological system (MPS) featuring a round window membrane (RWM) model co-cultured with murine auditory hair cells. It is integrated with a transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) sensor module to monitor epithelial barrier function development in continuous measurements, without sacrificing a sample and thus allowing “real-time” monitoring of the RWM construct progress. The MPS integrates a syringe pump, tissue compartment, multi-channel fluid distributor, and sensors into a microfluidic continuous-flow system, allowing for on-demand sample collections of analytes triggered by the cellular response to the introduced compounds. Drug screening was conducted with protective antibiotic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory compounds. RWM cell and hair cell viability, TD<small><sub>50</sub></small> values, and membrane integrity were measured.

Cell membrane integrity was also analyzed, and proinflammatory cytokine release was measured using a GFET sensor. We evaluated and monitored the real-time structural integrity of the RWM epithelial barrier using the integrated TEER sensor in the MPS. The sensor's ability to measure TEER and cytokine levels was validated by comparing its readings to those obtained from commercial TEER signal processing equipment and standard cytokine concentration measurements. This ear-on-a-chip design enables high-throughput screening of investigational new drugs, reducing the need for animal models in complex studies of inner ear damage and regeneration.

This technology spans many application areas, including biomedicine, food and beverage processing, as well as material synthesis. Droplet splitting is a key task in droplet microfluidics, which is essential for metering fluid samples between multiple assays in lab-on-a-chip applications. Passive droplet splitting with a T-junction is a straightforward and simple method. However, achieving variable droplet sizes typically requires numerous devices with different channel dimensions and complex channel arrangements. To address this limitation, we proposed a fully flexible and stretchable microfluidic technology for tunable droplet splitting. By externally stretching the T-junction, the dimensions of the channel arms can be dynamically altered in real time, allowing precise control over daughter droplet volumes and ratios. We investigated the effects of stretching on channel dimensions, hydraulic resistance, and droplet-splitting behaviour by theoretical analysis, numerical modelling, and experimental evaluations. The results revealed symmetric splitting at zero stretching and a tunable daughter droplet volume ratio up to approximately 4 with up to 4 mm device stretching (∼16% strain). Furthermore, we demonstrated the suitability of this technology for particle sorting, where particle-encapsulating mother droplets were asymmetrically split by adjusting device stretching. Finally, we demonstrated the encapsulation of microalgae within mother droplets and the tuning of microalgae concentration in the daughter droplets with stretching. This innovative approach provides a versatile and straightforward method for tunable droplet splitting, offering real-time control over droplet sizes without complex or multiple microfluidic designs. This advancement in micro elastofluidic technology opens up new possibilities for high-throughput and customisable droplet-based assays.","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 3D-μSTADs were fabricated using a double-sided imprinting process, where hydrophobic PDMS materials were pressed onto a hydrophilic cotton thread and heated for curing. By harnessing the intricate structures of the cotton fibers in vertical channels, 3D-μSTADs can effectively filter agglutinated red blood cells (RBCs) and allow free RBCs to continuously flow, resulting in a significant difference in wicking behavior between free and agglutinated RBCs. This difference eliminated the traditional requirement for a buffer solution and allowed direct observation of blood typing results based on whether blood flow reached the intended area. In our experiments, the proposed 3D-μSTADs successfully classified 105 ABO and RhD blood samples. To minimize environmental light interference and reduce potential personal bias, we designed a 3D printing blood-typing chip (3D-μThread-BT chip), which integrated the 3D-μSTADs with smartphone scanning for automated result readout. With color algorithmic modifications, the chip can ensure accurate, on-site blood typing across varying ambient light intensities by simply scanning the blood flow results.

However, existing POCT systems, primarily designed for clinical settings, are often too complex, costly, and reliant on trained operators, limiting their suitability for home use. To overcome these barriers, we introduce a microfluidic cartridge-based system leveraging recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) for multiplexed detection of respiratory pathogens in home environments. The microfluidic cartridge is designed with three parallel channels—each integrating a lysis chamber, an RPA chamber preloaded with lyophilized reagents, and an air storage chamber. Each detection channel enables extraction-free, single-channel 3-plex RPA assays, and by combining three-channel parallel detection, the system achieves simultaneous identification of eight respiratory pathogens and one internal control in under 25 min. A novel pneumatic pressure pumping strategy ensures precise flow control through dynamic bladder compression, paired with microchannel hydraulic resistance matching to guarantee uniform volumetric distribution and synchronized flow across all channels. Furthermore, a dynamic mixing method promotes homogeneous mixing of RPA reagents with lysed samples <em>via</em> a bidirectional flow between the lysis and RPA chambers, enhancing assay reliability. Our microfluidic design enables significant miniaturization, yielding a compact, lightweight system (&lt;1 kg) suitable for handheld or desktop use. Its low power consumption (3 W) and remarkable cost-effectiveness ($1.4 per test) enhance the system's practicality and accessibility for home settings.

However, for precise oxygen control, these microfluidic devices must be made from gas-impermeable materials. In this regard, glass is a material of choice due to its complete impermeability, but its microfabrication often requires specific clean room processes. Here, we report a low-tech fabrication method for a hybrid glass chip, which involves assembling glass components using an adhesion process. To evaluate this chip's suitability for use under highly controlled oxygen conditions, we developed a two-step assessment protocol. This involved determining the time needed to reach a target oxygen level during perfusion and measuring the reoxygenation time following the cessation of flow. Based on a dual approach of simulations and experiments, we emphasized crucial adhesive properties such as oxygen diffusion and solubility and proposed a range of well-suited adhesive materials.

Despite recent advancements that have increased their cellular complexity, organoids generally lack key specialized cell types, such as neurons, limiting their ability to fully model organ function and dysfunction. Innervating organoids remains a significant challenge due to the asynchronous biological cues governing neural and organ development. Here, we present a versatile organ-on-a-chip platform designed to innervate organoids across diverse tissue types. Our strategy enables the development of innervated granular hydrogel tissue constructs, followed by the sequential addition of organoids. The microfluidic device features an open tissue chamber, which can be easily manipulated using standard pipetting or advanced bioprinting techniques. Engineered to accommodate microgels of any material larger than 50 μm, the chamber provides flexibility for constructing customizable hydrogel environments. Organoids and other particles can be precisely introduced into the device at any stage using aspiration-assisted bioprinting. To validate this platform, we demonstrate the successful growth of primary mouse superior cervical ganglia (mSCG) neurons and the platform's effectiveness in innervating prostate cancer spheroids and patient-derived renal cell carcinoma organoids.
