A multiple-electric-field microfluidic chip with uniform flow field for study of lung adenocarcinoma cell electrotaxis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A new microfluidic chip (multiple electric field chip-II, MFCII) was developed to create multiple electric fields (EFs) to study the electrotaxis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. MFCII delivers high experimental throughput in comparison to conventional methods. The cell electrotaxis under three different electric field strengths (EFSs) and the control condition (no EF) can be studied in a single experiment. Also, with the homogeneous flow field in the main channel where cell migration is studied, the possible biological effect of shear force can be neglected.
