19 Shear or no shear?

20 Evolutionary strategy for implant optimisation Fact: Biological experiments have shown that cell grow better due to perfusion Assumption: We know the optimal shear stress level and the model is sufficient Geometry

22 Transient changes of the geometry

23 Praktiske Problemer Bubbles, the friend of every person dealing with microfluidics

24 Praktiske Problemer Sometimes you can even use them for something Like e.g. ink/laser-jet printers Sample separation

25 Praktiske Problemer: Bobbler Whre do we see them? e.g. syringes Pumps Flow splitter Injection ports Temperature changes Different surface energies in surfaces Too hydrophilic systems Gas solubility = function Of temperature Fill hydrophob 2 nd fill

26 Praktiske Problemer: Bobbler How to get rid of them? Good Priming (high speed) Surface tension reduction (Tween 20/50 soap) Dissolve them Pressure changes Good surface characteristics If you have bubbles and cells the bubbles function as lawn-mower
