Analysis of the mass transfers in an artificial kidney microchip
Abstract(#br)In this communication we demonstrate a conception of an artificial microkidney using pertinent microtools that more accurately mimic organ functions in vitro . We present a technique to integrate polyethersulfone (PES) membranes usually used in hemodialysis inside a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchip. The purpose of the microchip is to model glomerular filtration “on-chip”.
