An Automated Lab-On-A-Chip Approach for Pollen Tube Growth Manipulation in a Controlled Chemical Environment.

ABSTRACT: Laboratory automation is successfully implemented across a wide range of applications, from space exploration to oceanic research, facilitating data collection and analysis while improving precision in biological and medical fields. The future of robotic laboratory automation is closely tied to advancements in miniaturization. Thus, automation of lab-on-a-chip (LoC) systems-integrating complex laboratory tasks onto a small chip-holds great potential for scientific research, including the study of model organisms and cells. Here, an automated continuous-flow-based LoC device designed to investigate and manipulate the growth of pollen tubes (PTs)-fastest-growing cells in nature-within controlled chemical environments is presented. The automated LoC approach allows for the generation of tailo
