Meeting note 23.03.2021 Microfluidics (Written by Jan)

Today we discussed more chip-designs.

- We talked about a loop-design to avoid using a sophisticated system to flush the system. Problem is, the loop won't work, because the flow has no inertia and will just follow towards the outlet.

- We also have a design where we integrate some gradient generators into the design

- We need to make sure there is no backflow

- Keep it simple, rather than complicated. We need experience first.

- How do we keep cells inside the chambers? Instead of just flushing them out all the time

- In the big chambers where the flow rate is small, the cells might stick to the walls.

- Width of channels is important. Bacteria is much, much smaller than human cells. So size is important.
