Diffusion-Only Microfluidic Platform for Spatiotemporal Cell Signaling Analysis
TS-073289 —
Understanding how cells respond to soluble signals under diffusion-limited conditions remains a significant gap in current in vitro models. Most microfluidic systems rely on convective flow, which does not accurately reflect transport in interstitial tissue or solid tumors, where diffusion dominat…

Modular Pumpless Perfusion System for Scalable Microfluidic Applications
TS-071982 — The Need
Current microfluidic systems for long-term perfusion rely heavily on syringe or peristaltic pumps, which are costly, bulky, and require external power and technical expertise. These limitations hinder scalability, accessibility, and usability, especially in resource-limited settings. There …
