Don’t know where to start? We’ve got you.
-
I am familiar with cell culture, but I am new to Organ-on-Chip control.
-
I have a rough research goal, but I don’t know how to build the device.
-
I understand the biology, but not how to translate it into microfluidic channel design?
-
...
-
I already have a chip design, but I don't know which material (PDMS, glass, or plastic) is best for the application.
-
I need a few prototypes, but I don’t know how to scale that to larger production.
-
I want to integrate other functional components, but I don't know how to keep the chips biocompatible and ready for experiments.

OOC Chip Design
How It Works for Chip Design
0
Feasibility Consultant
We conduct a rapid feasibility screen and provide a YES/NO answer with an initial development plan.
1
Pre-experiment Proof of Concept
We begin with quick tests using off-the-shelf chips or PDMS prototypes, depending on OOC goal, cell types and compounds provided by clients.
2
System Design
We engineer the microfluidic layout, membranes, and interconnects, integrating perfusion control and MEMS/optical readouts, while concurrently validating cell viability and functional performance.
3
Device Fabrication
We fabricate the device, apply surface functionalization or coating to optimize biocompatibility, and perform sterilization (e.g., radiation) according to batch size and intended culture duration.
4
Cell seeding and device assembly
We seed cells into the device and establish functional behavior under flow and mechanical conditions.
5
Model and Validation
We test with positive controls defined by clients (e.g., known-toxic compounds) and deliver reproducible readouts for verification.
