This paper presents the original design of a microfluidic device for long-term study of individual cells. This paper describes how the microfluidic device works to handle and trap a single cell in each one of multiple channels. The vascularization networks and the special compacted shape of the device render it suitable for long-term viability of cells and biological statistical study or drug screening.
