Abstract

A high-throughput microfluidic chip for cell culture and immunofluorescence virus assays is presented in this paper. The chip is fabricated by laser engraving technology with the polymer material polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line has been successfully loaded, cultured and passaged in culturing chambers with 1mm diameter and 1.5 µl volume; and rapid growth of influenza A virus (H3N2) in MDCK cells cultured has been observed and proved by immunoflorescence assay. This kind of cell culture array could offer a platform for virus growth testing for vaccine production and also is promising for early diagnosis and drug screening. in drug screening, bioinformatics, and quantitative cell biology.
