Abstract

We propose an organoid-trapping device to form long intestinal epithelial organoids. The device is drivable with hydrostatic pressure to gather standard organoids, and induces their fusion in the microchannel. We can control the length of the tube-like organoids by adjusting the number of standard organoids. As a demonstration, six organoids were trapped in the device and tube-like organoids were formed by their fusion within two days. Our device will provide desired length of organoids for development of a perfusable 3D intestinal organoid model.
