We report on the incorporation of microfluidic structure within a high-water-content hydrogel 4% (w/v) calcium alginate. We used the microfluidic network to control the chemical environment within the hydrogel and demonstrated higher rates of delivery and extraction of solutes than was achievable by diffusion alone.
