| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our objective is to irradiate a single cell with an atmospheric pressure plasma for controlling biological activity of the single cell. Using technologies of plasma and micro electromechanical systems (MEMS), we have developed a microdevice which enabled plasma irradiation to a single cell. The microdevice was named as “Plasma-on-Chip”. In the plasma irradiation, reactive species generated in the plasma were delivered to a single cell cultured in a microwell through through-holes fabricated in the microwell bottom. We used Chlorella cell for the biological experiments. The plasma irradiation decreased fluorescence from the Chlorella cells. It was considered that the reactive species degraded biological activity of the Chlorella cells.
