Novel approach for the prediction of cell densities and viability in standardized translucent cell culture biochips with near infrared spectroscopy
2017
Near infrared spectroscopy is a rapid and nondestructive method for compositional analysis of biological material. The technology is widely used within bioreactors and possesses potential as a standardized method for quality control in miniaturized microfluidic cell culture systems. Here, we established a method for quantification of cell density and viability of adherent HepaRG cells cultured in a translucent, miniaturized cell culture biochip. The newly developed statistical models for interpretation of near infrared spectroscopy from biochips are the basis for a novel method of fast, continuous, and contact-free analysis of cell viability and real-time monitoring of cell growth. The technique thus paves the way for a robust and reliable high-throughput analysis of biochip-embedded cell cultures.
