Microfluidics
Final Experimental Setup B

Insert text here.

Evolution of channel design

  1. Microfluidic channel with flow and recycling of the medium
    • Variant 1: Plate with pixel filled with agarose and cell and a microfluidic channel above
    • Variant 2: Microfluidic channel with cells sitting in pockets in the channel
  2. Microfluidic channel without flow
Experimental setup for SmoColi.
The Modeling showed that diffusion and degradation of acetaldehyde/ xylene is enough to create a concentration gradient in the tube. Without a flow there is no need for a liquid so we decided to fill the whole channel with agarose and cells likewise we don´t need recycling because AHL can diffuse through the whole channel.
