Abstract

Spatiotemporal responses in biological tissues are critical drivers of health. Local stimulation of ex vivo tissue samples can facilitate the evaluation of such responses, but current local delivery technology is limited to surface applications, mechanical invasiveness, or short delivery time due to reagent diffusion. These limitations make it challenging to stimulate and observe regional responses in ex vivo cultures over long periods. For this reason, we developed a user-friendly, rapidly fabricated microfluidic pen that can locally deliver substances through a thick substrate for extended time periods (32 min) while mitigating lateral diffusion of the delivered species.
