This paper describes an approach to adhere retinal cells on micropatterned polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) lines adsorbed on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces, using microfluidic networks. PEMs were patterned on flat oxidized PDMS surfaces by

Controlled Vesicle Self-Assembly in Continuous Two Phase Flow Microfluidic Channels

The spontaneous self-assembly of phospholipids into liposomes in aqueous solution results in the encapsulation of reagents into quantized packets in a manner that mimics cellular life-processes. Since their discovery in 1965, liposomes have been used in a

Patterning Retinal Cells on Polyelectrolyte Multilayers

Darwin Reyes-Hernandez, Elizabeth M. Perruccio, Patricia Becerra, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
The patterning of retinal epithelial cells on polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEMs) lines is presented. PEMs were deposited in discrete lines using a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic network on top of a flat PDMS slab. The layers were formed by

Surface Characterization of Laser- Ablated Polymers Used for Microfluidics

D L. Pugmire, E A. Waddell, R Haasch, Michael J. Tarlov, Laurie E. Locascio
Fabrication of microfluidic devices by excimer laser ablation under different atmospheres may provide variations in polymer microchannel surface characteristics. The surface chemistry and electroosmotic (EO) mobility of polymer microchannels laser ablated
