✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We report the use of a PTFE‐based microfluidic device for the encapsulation of living, therapeutically‐active cells within monodisperse alginate microspheres. We present a novel microfluidic platform and a flexible experimental method for the production of alginate microspheres. Cell lines HEK293, U‐2 OS and PC12 were separately encapsulated using this method, with minimal loss of cell viability.
