Abstract
An apparatus for observation of biological activity in a sample and a method for quantifying cancer intravasation events in a biological sample includes a microfluidic device having a plurality of fluidic channel, including a center channel adjacent to a media channel defining a perfusable partition therebetween; wherein the center channel is arranged to facilitate mesenchymal transition (EMT) in biological cells housed within the center channel induced by a reagent supplied to the media channels.
