Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a research hotspot nowadays due to its multiple therapeutic effects and novel application in diseases treatments. However, the current industrial technologies for their culture and harvesting are labour-intensive, time-consuming and very expensive. Herein, we presented a 3D printed modular microfluidic system consisting of micromixers and spiral channel units for cell harvesting which will greatly reduce the time and cost needed for cell harvesting, washing and cultivation. At the meantime, this system is automatic, making it compatible to the current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP).
