High Throughput Cell Mechanophenotyping via Microfluidic Constrictions with Multiplexed Electrical Sensors

The work presented herein shows a microfluidic cytometry platform that uses constrictive channels monitored with a multiplexed electrical sensing network to measure cell mechanical properties. The parallel microfluidic architecture combined with code division multiplexed electrical sensing of cells enable throughput levels that are otherwise not possible in constriction transit time measurement-based devices.
