University of Rochester - Nanoporous Membrane Chip

Several research groups at the University of Rochester, including the McGrath Lab, the Awad Lab, and the Miller Lab, are working with nanoporous membrane chips made by AIM Photonics for various applications in tissue modeling and cell sensing.

In this animation, a nanoporous chip that allows cell signaling to occur was visualized.

A photonic sensor was embedded into a third microfluidic device to enable real time cell analyte measurement.

Several versions of microfluidic devices which utilize this chip were created in order to model different tissues and disease states.
