Cell stiffness is an essential label-free biomarker used to diagnose and sort cells at the single-cell level. Here, we integrated magnetic tweezers on an efficient cell arraying microfluidic device to evaluate the mechanical properties of single cells. Two motion modes under pulsed electromagnetic f
Three-dimensional multi-layer microfluidic device (MMD) fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a solution for on-chip high-complexity serial or parallel processes. In this letter, we propose and set up an automated 8-DOF alignment system assisted by computer vision, which is capable of automat
In this paper, an automated tracking system with head and tail recognition for time-lapse observation of free-moving C. elegans is presented. In microscale field, active C. elegans can move out of the view easily without an automated tracking system because of the narrow field of view and rapid spee…
We have successfully achieved manipulation and assembly of microbeads having the size of 100μm diameter by hemispherical end-effectors with high stability and accuracy. The motivation of achieving assembly of actual cells lies in the great significance of it in tissue regeneration and cell analysis.…
