Our Crowdfunding Groups
Our placenta-on-a-chip is tested to find the best concept for cell introduction and media perfusion through each individual channel. We tested multiple methods to inject cells through inlets and continue medium perfusion without losing cells.
Since we are dealing with cells, sterilization is very important to us. This means that we need to have single-use tools like gloves and pipettes. As an Interphase donator, you will help us to purchase these tools.
Another important part of cell culturing includes sterile conical centrifuge tubes to store medium in small quantities and other processes. As a Prophase donator, you would be supplying us with centrifuge tubes and other similar tools like micropipette tips.
In cell culturing, we need media to help grow and feed cells. As a Prometaphase donator you would be helping us purchase base and growth media or other similar materials.
A Metaphase donation would help us purchase other chemicals used in cell culturing, like fluorescent dyes used to photograph cells and PDMS, a chemical used to create the chips.
We use a lot of flasks and well plates in cell culturing. An Anaphase donation would allow us to purchase such materials.
The cells we need to use are very expensive. An Telophase level donation would help enable us to purchase the cells we use to carry out experiments.
Cytokinesis-level donations would go towards purchasing more expensive equipment used around the lab, such as syringe pumps or centrifuges.
