Abstract
Cancer cells inside tumors are under low glucose and oxygen concentration, which increase the migration capability and are assumed to be an origin of cancer metastasis. However, the cellular level studies of cancer cells inside tumors are difficult due to the limitation of the conventional biological approaches, which cannot generate the conditions inside tumors. In order to overcome the difficulty, we design and fabricate a microfluidic device that can control the glucose and oxygen concentrations inside a micro chamber. We achieved the concentration gradients similar to the gradient inside a tumor.
