Abstract

This paper presents a microsystem for single-cell characterization by aspirating cells continuously through a constriction channel while cell impedance profiles and images are measured to quantify transit time, the impedance amplitude ratio, and cell elongation simultaneously. The system demonstrated that osteoblasts, compared with osteocytes, have a larger cell elongation length, longer transit time, and a higher amplitude ratio. The system also classified EMT6 and EMT6/AR1.0 cells with success rates of 51.3% (cell elongation), 57.5% (transit time), 59.6% (amplitude ratio), and 70.2% (both) using neural network, further verifying the device's capability for performing both electrical and mechanical measurements on single cells.
