Research Abstract |
Since most laboratory bioassays used for cell analysis are designed to measure average effects on cell population, it is difficult to study characteristics of individual cells such as patient's tumor cell samples in a high throughput manner. Recently, a novel microwell slide that allows several thousands of single cells to be addressed to an exact position, cultured for weeks, and treated separately in high throughput has been developed. In this project we have proposed a bioassay system consisting of an active microfluidic device integrated on the microwell plate for improved control of, and new applications for the single cells.
