Abstract
A microfluidic device includes a substrate, a cover layer and one or more chambers disposed within the cover layer, the substrate or both. Each chamber has a first end, a second end, and a set of micro-pillars disposed therein. A first microchannel and second microchannel are disposed within the cover layer, the substrate or both, and connected to the first end and second end of the chamber, respectively. A first set of barriers is disposed within each first microchannel proximate to the first end of the chamber. A second set of barriers is disposed within each second microchannel proximate to the second end of the chamber. A third microchannel is disposed within the cover layer, the substrate or both, and connected to the chamber. A first port, second port and third port extend through the cover layer and connect to the first, second and third microchannels, respectively.
