About
Description This invention is a microfluidic device for the ejection and suction of drugs/compounds. Perfusion involves a procedure of delivering a drug or nutrients to an organ or tissue that is being studied. The most popular methods of accomplishing this are bath perfusions and local perfusions, which have both proven cumbersome and/or inadequate for studying how drug application to one region of tissue affects a neighboring/juxtaposed region. The long-standing but heretofore unfulfilled need for improved perfusion in turbulent/non-laminar flow conditions is now met by this new invention.
