Abstract
Lab-on-chip technologies offer powerful tools for studying biological processes in physiologically rele-vant microenvironments. We present a microfluidic platform for real-time analysis of muscle contraction, uniquely integrating Laser-Induced Graphene electrodes fabricated via direct CO₂ laser engraving on polyimide tape adhered to polystyrene. This rapid, low-cost method enables precise electrical stimula-tion of muscle tissues. Time-lapse microscopy captured the resulting contractions, which were quanti-tatively analysed using machine learning algorithms to extract contractile features.
