Abstract :
The cell clinics microsystem is a platform for long-term cell monitoring for such applications as cell-based sensing. This system includes microvials with individually actuated lids, integrated circuits that monitor cells and control the position of the vial hinges, and an automated cell loading mechanism that relies on dielectrophoresis to manipulate individual cells into the vials
