Figure 5. Single Cell Manipulation in a Regular Cell Culture Medium.

Figure 5

(a) Left: stepwise releasing of a trapped target single cell to the downstream phototransistor traps. Right: detailed process showing how a target cell was released from Position 1 and trapped by the next phototransistor in the downstream (Position 2) (See Supplementary Video 2). This experiment is conducted in DMEM (1 S/m) under 10 Vpp AC voltage at 8 MHz. (b) Such a stepwise function allows the assembly of single cells into a desired pattern such as the shown 3 × 5 array on a SLOT platform.
