title = "Fabrication of alginate fiber using microfluidic device and cell encapsulation",
abstract = "In this paper, we demonstrate a new continuous production technique of calcium alginate fibers with the microfluidic platform similar to spider. We have used the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic device embedded capillary glass pipette as apparatus for fiber generation. As a sample flow, we employed a 2%(w/w) sodium alginate solution and as a sheath flow, a 784mM CaCl2 solution was employed. We evaluated the potential use of alginate fibers as cell carrier by loading human fibroblasts during the 'on the fly' fabrication process. In addition, we evaluate the capability of loading the therapeutic materials onto the alginate fibers by immobilized BSA-FITC in the fibers.",
