abstract = "Poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) is the number-one used material to produce microfluidic devices, under the assumption it is biocompatible. Other organosilicon compounds, including PDMS, are ubiquitous in daily use products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and even food. Their approval in these applications is based on the notion that the substance is not absorbed systemically. Here, using a range of analytical techniques, we demonstrate that a range of organosilicon compounds do interact with cell membranes and models thereof.",
