WormFloII microfluidic device for culturing C. elegans with food bacteria in biochemical isolation. (a) WormFloII photo. Inlet and outlet portals for liquid media are shown. Yellow dashed line outlines 50 chambers for individually culturing C. elegans. (b) WormFloII schematic. Each chamber is directly connected to supply (orange) and drain (gray) channels to achieve biochemically independent environments. (c) Chamber schematic. Chambers are caged with junctional micro-slit channels (50-μm width and height). Animals are introduced from 0.1-mm hole at chamber roof. Hole is shielded with PDMS sheet before supplying liquid media.
