abstract = "We present a novel 3D printed microfluidic probe (MFP) with an integrated micro-mixer for various biomedical applications. The micromixer produces a concentration gradient by generating 3 adjacent, yet isolated, hydrodynamic flow confinements (HFC) at its mesa. The concentration gradient can be utilized to perform chemotaxis studies on cells such as neutrophils and axonal navigation. Results show that the 3D printed MFP is capable to generate a gradient of 3 concentrations of 100%, 50%, and 0% within three isolated streams of HFCs. The MFP can be designed to include more HFCs with various concentration gradients, and can be designed to generate isolated microstreams or merging ones for continuous long-range concentration gradients.",
