Technology Seminar on custom-made specialty polymers
Hans van der Aa, COO of PolyVation, gave a technology seminar in which he presented the capabilities of PolyVation and the various applications of their custom-made polymers. Depending on the need of the customer, the properties of the polymers can be tweaked to control for instance the physical and biological properties of the materials. Application areas of these polymers include medical devices, tissue engineering and drug delivery.
Within LymphChip, the PolyVation polymers are used for the biofabrication of biomimetic 3D microscaffolds for advanced skin‑ and gut-on-chip models with integrated lymphatics and immune cells.

Application Note Fluigent
Flow conditions and a stable well-defined flow direction are important to culture in vivo-like endothelial cells over time that maintain their organization and function. With help of Dhanesh Khasi, Hanna Lammertse and Valeria Orlova, an application note was put together by Fluigent describing the proper conditions for hiPSCs-derived vascular organ-on-chip model under unidirectional controlled flow: https://www.fluigent.com/resources-support/expertise/application-notes/hipscs-derived-vascular-organ-on-chip
