On-chip Surface Acoustic Wave and Micropipette Aspiration Techniques to Assess Cell Elastic PropertiesTuesday, 29 September 2020 at 17:30 Add to Calendar ▼2020-09-29 17:30:002020-09-29 18:30:00Europe/LondonOn-chip Surface Acoustic Wave and Micropipette Aspiration Techniques to Assess Cell Elastic PropertiesLab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics 2020 in Virtual ConferenceVirtual ConferenceSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com Cells in vivo mechanically interact with the local microenvironment, stressing the important role of cell mechanical properties in cellular behaviours. We built a phase-modulated surface acoustic wave microfluidic device measuring cellular compressibility (or bulk modulus) and a microfluidic micropipette-aspiration device measuring cellular Young’s modulus, facilitating the investigations of cellular elastic properties and cytoskeletal mechanics. |
