Abstract

We have successfully developed an integrated microfluidic platform, the hESC-μChip, to culture and analyze individual hESC colonies reproducibly, quantitatively and semi-automatedly. This hESC-μChip has six individually addressable culture chambers for performing multiparameteric analyses. On-chip immunoassays of pluripotency markers confirmed that the hESC colonies had maintained their pluripotency. It is also a demonstration of parallel/multiparameteric/real-time/automated examination of self-renewal and differentiation of hESCs in the same device.
