A filter device was also fabricated using the Objet Connex 350 printer. The main parts of the filter are two flange-shaped slabs that were printed in VeroClear material and contained printed O-rings fabricated in the rubber-like Tango black (Stratasys). A sample inlet was fabricated on the top slab, which was a female fitting with printed threads on the inside. The two slabs can be combined by binder clips, with a piece of semipermeable membrane in between representing the filter, while the printed O-rings on the binding sides of both slabs ensured a secure fit of the membrane without liquid leaking. The engineering sketch of this device is shown in supplementary Figure S3 .

Manufactured by Stratasys
Sourced in Israel
The Tango Black is a 3D printing material offered by Stratasys. It is a flexible, black-colored photopolymer material designed for use in Stratasys 3D printing systems. The core function of Tango Black is to provide a flexible, durable, and high-quality material option for 3D printed objects.

The .STL file of the final digital dataset was delivered electronically to the Laboratory of Rapid Prototyping at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, where the 3D printing was carried out using the Object Eden 350V printer (Stratasys, Rehovot, Israel). Two materials were used for manufacture. The models of the biliary tree with gallbladder and the hepatic artery were manufactured using TangoPlus (Stratasys, Rehovot, Israel), and the models representing the hepatic veins, liver tumour and the portal vein were printed using TangoBlack (Stratasys, Rehovot, Israel). Each structure was printed en-bloc, surrounded by a gel-like support structure to protect overhanging parts of the model during the printing process (Figure 3). Once printed, the models underwent post-manufacture processing which included removal of the support structures with pressured water jet, and painting.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
