3D printed microfluidic modules: passive mixers and cells encapsulation in alginate

Abstract

passive mixers and droplet generation microfluidic chip modules were designed and manufactured using a commercial SLA 3D-printer. The mixing modules were designed specifically for 3D-printing and evaluated using FEM modeling. The co-flow droplet generator was used for cancer cells encapsulation and drug potency evaluation.
