Research Abstract |
Techniques of chemical release control for differentiation induction of neural stem cells were developed. First, four nanohole arrays and microvalves were fabricated at the bottom of a cell-culturing chamber, and chemical release from the nanoholes was controlled by switching open/close of the microvalves. Next, a sheathflow was generated in a microchannel under a chamber, and chemical release from microholes was controlled by regulating flow rates of three fluids which form the sheathflow. Moreover, in order to permit multiple chemicals to be released on a single device, 64 chambers were arranged in an 8 x 8 matrix, and each of 8 microchannels was located directly under a row of chambers.
