c type sieve

Duration : 0:1:0

“C-shaped sieve” shows pronounced aggregation of the cells in the
downstream section of the trap. Large cell aggregates are particularly
unfavorable for microscale cell culture, as they can quickly exhaust
the local nutrients and reduce oxygenation efficiency, stressing the
culture to the point of cell death by necrosis or apoptosis.
