Control and sensing platform of magnetically driven microtool for on-chip single cell evaluation

In this paper, we discuss a development of control and sensing platform for an on-chip single cell evaluation by magnetically driven microtool (MMT). The design and fabrication of the MMT is shown. Through the basic experiments, the advantage of the proposed platform, the performance of the position control (positioning accuracy: 30 μm), and the force sensing (sensing accuracy: 100 μN) of the MMT are confirmed.
