Galileo showcased at the Cancer-Cells-On-Chip workshop

29-30th January, 2024. Lille, France

For our first conference booth as the Microfluidics Innovation Center (yes, the “Innovation Unit” of Elvesys has spun off as a separate company as of 2024!), we are highlighting our Galileo flow sensor prototype next to our pressure pumps and fluid circulation units.

Galileo is a stand-alone sensor that may be used with any pumping system for many applications, including (but not limited to) droplet generation, single cell encapsulation and reagent dosing. This week we were happy to profile the role of flow control in cell perfusion assays.

More and more researchers are adding a perfusion parameter to their in vitro models. Cell rolling and adhesion assays using circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a good example of where controlling flow and shear stress can improve the physiological relevance of biological models and lead to new insights - in this case, for cancer metastasis.

What other biological assays have you tried that have greatly benefited from adding flow? Let us know at: innovation@microfluidic.fr
