Tunable microfluidic chip for single-cell deformation study

扫码查看
Microfluidic phenotyping methods have been of vital importance for cellular characterization,especially for evaluating single cells.In order to study the deformability of a single cell,we devised and tested a tunable microfluidic chip-based method.A pneumatic polymer polydimethyl-siloxane(PDMS)membrane was designed and fabricated abutting a single-cell trapping structure,so the cell could be squeezed controllably in a lateral direction.Cell contour changes under increasing pressure were recorded,enabling the deformation degree of different types of single cell to be analyzed and compared using computer vision.This provides a new perspective for studying mechanical properties of cells at the single cell level.
