Automated Long-Term Monitoring of Parallel Microfluidic Operations Applying a Machine Vision-Assisted Positioning Method

Figure 8

Implementation of automated monitoring of parallel cell culture. (a) Switch between cell alignment mark and chamber center for imaging. Scale bar: 250 μm. (b) Example of cell seeding (day 0) and cell growth (day 1–7) in a representative chamber. Scale bar: 250 μm. (c) Normalized cell coverage in microchambers of the microfluidic device. Error bars represent the standard errors with each calculated from 5–20 data points.
