Abstract:
Organoids enable rigorous studies of neurodevelopment and disease, yet existing platforms often compromise between precise microenvironment control and reliable electrophysiological measurement. The challenge of achieving uniform perfusion alongside multi-well volumetric neural recordings limits parallel functional characterization and technical reproducibility across samples. Here, we present the triMEA millifluidic platform, which integrates three stretchable microelectrode arrays within a single device and delivers uniform perfusion across three independent wells. A single inlet supplies identical perfusion to each well, which stabilizes flow patterns and equalizes mechanical stimuli between chambers. This design facilitates simultaneous, independent electrophysiological recordings from three organoids within a single experimental setup. Using human midbrain organoids as a proof-of-concept biological model, we provide computational and experimental validation of the fluidic profiles and demonstrate electrophysiological recordings across all three wells under continuous perfusion. This platform establishes a reproducible and standardized foundation for parallel organoid interfacing.
