Custom microfluidic platform for single-cell mechano-phenotyping
- Mechanism: Hydrodynamic deformation in microchannels with real-time imaging for extraction of mechanical & morphological parameters
- Sample: single-cell suspension, ≥1×10⁶ cells/ml, minimal aggregates; suitable for suspended cells or enzymatically lifted (e.g., trypsinised) adherent cells
- Outputs: Elastic modulus, apparent viscosity, cell deformation metrics, viscoelastic parameters, cell morphological parameters
