Abstract

We have developed a microfluidic chip which incorporates an electrical impedance sensor to detect the degradation of a biomimetic layer of calcium phosphate. This chip can be used to follow the resorption of model bone mineral by osteoclasts in real time without disturbing them, allowing the kinetics of this important biological process to be measured. The presence of multiple cell culture chambers allows parallel experiments with different conditions on one chip.
