Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a microfluidic device capable of mimicking a biological microenvironment thereby achieving control of a microenvironment with time through control of the diffusion of target elements between chambers by interrupting or generating fluid flow inside a channel, and a method for manufacturing the same, and the microfluidic device according to an aspect of the present disclosure can mimic the biological microenvironment which changes constantly with time via a simple temporary operation of generating or interrupting fluid flow in the channel mechanically and can control diffusion via a simple method, and accordingly, a complicated microenvironment can be reproduced since the number and arrangement of diffusion chambers and channels can be designed variously.
