Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Demonstration of gradient formation in microfluidic devices to schoolchildren, using a demo chip and a juice chip. (b) Continuously flowing red and blue food dye solutions pumped through the oversized demo chip to show the principle. (b) An oversized juice chip, with syringes of fruit juices connected for students to try to manually generate their own gradient across the chip.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Oversized tissue chip featuring a chamber into which pH paper was added to mimic a tissue sample. (b) Students manually operating the device by drawing either lemon juice or water through the channel by negative pressure, exposing the pH paper “tissue” to different “drugs.” (c) Effect of water and lemon juice on the pH paper, indicating positive and negative effects of the “drugs.” An actual tissue microfluidic device was also shown to students to demonstrate the features of the real device compared to the oversized demonstration device.
