The zebrafish chip Fluidic 1371, featuring Mini Luer interfaces, is capable of capturing individual zebrafish eggs at predefined monitoring positions. The catcher structures are arranged along a long, meandering channel. Once caught, the eggs will block the outlet of each catcher structure, and the resulting suction effect will keep them in place. Under constant perfusion, the development of zebrafish can then be observed.
The design of this chip is based on the publication by J. Akagi et al. PLoS One (2012).
