Microfluidics

Cell mechanical properties have attracted attention as important biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, and measurement methods using microfluidic devices have been developed. However, conventional constriction-based devices faced challenges with cell clogging. In this study, we developed a device with a branched microfluidic channel and micropores, and constructed a low-cost, high-precision cell deformability evaluation system that performs simultaneous electrical measurement and observation using a general-purpose high-speed camera under positional control by sheath flow.
