Outline of Final Research Achievements

Several methods for motion tracking of cells and microorganisms have been developed to investigate their biological function. In general, optical ways have been utilized for the motion tracking. In contrast, there are a few electrochemical methods for motion tracking, even though the electrochemical ways are useful for cell analysis. In the present study, we developed a novel electrochemical detection for motion tracking. By using the electrochemical detection, motion of microorganisms was successfully tracked.
