Fig. 1From: Fluid dynamic design for mitigating undesired cell effects and its application to testis cell response testing to endocrine disruptorsSchematic of the impact of the uncontrolled cells in upstream region on the main test section in microfluidic device. a Structure of a general microfluidic device. There is a microfluidic channel constituting the upstream and downstream of the test section for material exchange including the culture medium. b Influence of upstream cells on the experimental conditions in the test section. The ideal conditions researchers expect to design microfluidic devices and the non-ideal conditions in which cells cultured in the upstream region affect the test sectionBack to article page
