Thermoregulable Magnetic Microfluidic Devices by Magnetic Hyperthermia from Iron Oxide Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Accurate control of energy supplied to a liquid in a controlled environment is essential for automating and optimizing processes. Organs on a chip (OoC) are an emerging technology that allows the design of customized environmental conditions for cells and chemical reactions by creating specific channel shapes while simplifying data acquisition. To thermoregulate these devices and therefore expand their use widely, we integrated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) within the matrix of the chip to heat them by using magnetic hyperthermia. We tested the devices and developed a digital twin that reproduces the experimental OoC-fluid interaction while allowing us to measure parameters that would be inaccessible in a laboratory and get a full picture of the heat transfer at the boundary.
