Research Abstract |
This study has aimed to apply infrared spectroscopy as a label free and real-time monitoring method for detecting cellular response to applied mechanical stimulus in bone cells. Infrared light penetrated through semiconductor prism was probed activity of adhesive cells on the prism as infrared absorption. In addition, live cell monitoring apparatus was fabricated for detecting kinetic information of target cells, which was applicable to experimental system to apply fluid flow stimulation.
