Abstract

Correction for ‘Cell docking inside microwells within reversibly sealed microfluidic channels for fabricating multiphenotype cell arrays’ by Ali Khademhosseini et al., Lab Chip, 2005, 5, 1380–1386, https://doi.org/10.1039/B508096G.


An issue was identified with the original Fig. 5B, where certain elements of the image appeared repetitive. As the original data were unavailable, and the cause of the issue could not be determined, the experiment was independently repeated. The independently reperformed Fig. 5 corroborates the conclusions presented in the original study.

Fig. 5 Microfluidic arrays with upstream microfluidic mixers. To lower the number of independent inlets into the device, micromixers can be incorporated upstream from the microchannel arrays: (a) represents experiments in which a concentration gradient was generated in an array of channels, and (b) is a monolayer of NIH-3T3 cells immobilized in such a microfluidic array.

An independent expert has viewed the independently reperformed Fig. 5 and the associated raw data, and has confirmed that it is consistent with the discussions and conclusions presented in the original article.
