Extensive and continuous monitoring is one of the main challenges in the study of cell cultures and organotipic tissues. We have developed a lab-on-chip device allowing monitoring different parameters, as temperature, pH and pO2 or pCO2 by using optical fibres (Patent: PCT_ES2011_070173_ISRWO). Additionally, optical, fluorescence and confocal microscopy can be used together with NMR microscopy and spectroscopy. The aim of this communication is to describe the lab-on-chip and demonstrate the possibility of obtaining high resolution images and spectra at very low volumes by using NMR microscopy in a single neurosphere.
