The MEMIC

Information for building the MEMICs. Please cite The MEMIC is an ex vivo system to model the complexity of the tumor microenvironment by Janská and Anandi et al (paper). When using this system.

Files to 3D print 12-MEMIC plates

Files to print the new version of our Metabolic Microenvironment Chamber (MEMIC) first described here. The MEMIC is free and open for academic applications so you are free to print and use these files. Please cite our work if you do! If you seek to use the MEMIC for commercial applications, please contact Carlos Carmona-Fontaine first.

Stereolithography printing (recommended)

  

You can move, rotate, and zoom the object with your mouse.

Fused-Filament Printing (discontinued old version)


Our previous MEMIC design used a conventional fused-filament printer (such as Ultimaker). However, these printers are unreliable and often resulted in faulty plates. We re-designed our 12-well MEMIC for printing on a SLA. Both designs work exactly the same way but we recommend using SLA if you have access to an adequate printer (see design above).

This is a model for a 12-MEMIC plate re-designed for Stereolitography (SLA). We recommend using this design over our previous design.

Our SLA is from FormLabs (Form3B) and it has a price comparable with typical fused-filament printers but offers better resolution, reliability, and can print more complex models.
