Integrated Microfluidic Platform for High‐Throughput Generation of Intestinal Organoids in Hydrogel Droplets

Organoid research offers valuable insights into human biology and disease, but reproducibility and scalability remain significant challenges, particularly for epithelial organoids. Here, we present an integrated microfluidic platform that addresses these limitations by enabling high-throughput generation of uniform hydrogel microparticles embedded with primary-derived human adult intestinal stem cells. Our platform includes a cell distribution system for homogeneous cell encapsulation and a microfluidic oil-removal module for efficient particle transfer to aqueous media. We demonstrate the successful culture and differentiation of both healthy- and tumor-derived intestinal organoids within these microparticles, achieving high homogeneity and reproducibility. This integrated microfluidic approach holds promise for scalable and standardized organoid production, with potential applications in drug screening, disease modeling, and personalized medicine.
