Abstract

The invention discloses a manufacturing method of a double-crosslinked gel-based micro-fluidic chip. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out three-dimensional printingor mold casting on a hydrogel precursor solution under a primary crosslinking condition to obtain two partially-crosslinked hydrogel sheets with partial channel structures; and (2) laminating the twopartially-crosslinked hydrogel sheets to abut the channel structures, and applying a secondary crosslinking condition to make the two hydrogel sheets bonded and completely crosslinked in order to obtain the double-crosslinked gel-based micro-fluidic chip. The manufacturing method of the double-crosslinked gel-based micro-fluidic chip has the advantages of simple and convenient manufacturing process, non-toxicity, harmlessness and wide application range. The gel-based micro-fluidic chip produced through the method has the advantages of good stability and reliability, various forms and good biocompatibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microfluidic chips, in particular to a method for manufacturing a gel-based microfluidic chip with a specific shape of internal channels based on the principle of secondary cross-linking and the prepared gel-based microfluidic chip. Background technique [0002] With the development of micro-manufacturing technology, microfluidic chip has gradually become an emerging platform for cell culture. Compared with the commonly used methods in the laboratory, the operation and analysis of cells on the microfluidic chip has many advantages: the size of the microchannel is equivalent to the size of the cell, and the perfusion culture method used by the chip is closer to the physiological state in the body, which can be more realistic. It reflects the biological characteristics of cells under physiological conditions; it can more effectively control the cell microenvironment; the chip is small in size, saving the co...
