A tissue dissociation device includes an inlet coupled to a first stage having a single channel having an upstream end and a downstream end; a plurality of serially arranged intermediate stages, wherein a first intermediate stage of the plurality is fluidically coupled to the downstream end of the first stage, and wherein each subsequent intermediate stage of the plurality has an increasing number of channels (with channels of smaller dimensions); and an outlet coupled to a last stage of the intermediate stages.

Microfluidic tissue dissociation device and method

Microfluidic tumor tissue dissociation device and method

A device for interfacing coatings, the device comprising at least one well each comprising an elastomeric bottom surface. At least one slit is formed on the elastomeric bottom surface. At least one removable divider is removably inserted into the at least one slit, whereby at least one gap is created and the at least one well is divided into at least two compartments. A designated coating is lined on the elastomeric bottom surface of each of the at least two compartments. Removal of the at least one removable divider then causes the at least one gap to close, allowing for the designated coatings lined on the elastomeric bottom surface of each of the at least two compartments to interface with each other.
