ORGANOID CULTURE IN MICROBEADS MICROFLUIDICS

Microbead-based microfluidics (droplet-based microfluidic using specific gel as dispersed phase) is a powerful technic which generates highly monodispersed picoliter sized beads into a continuous phase. This method has been successfully adapted to cell culture to encapsulate cells in micron size hydrogel beads. The main advantage are reduced costs related to miniaturization, high reproducibility and high throughput screening capacities.
