Abstract

See full text

A microfluidic device is provided. The microfluidic device includes a first transparent, solid support layer. A first polymeric layer defining at least one chamber is attached to the first transparent, solid support layer. A semi-permeable membrane is attached to the first polymeric layer. A second polymeric layer is attached to the opposite side of the semi-permeable membrane from the first polymeric layer. The second polymeric layer has a thickness of less than 300 microns and defines at least one chamber positioned to overlap with at least one chamber in the first polymeric layer. A first manifold structure is attached to an input end of at least one chamber and a second manifold structure is attached to an output end of at least one chamber.
