Viability of HeLa cells passing through the constricted channel. (a) Image of stained cells obtained from the Countess automated cell counter. (b) Comparison of percentage of cells still viable after passing through the constriction with the initial conditions and with cells maintained in the same environment for same period of time but not passed through the constriction. Cell condition 1 refers to the initial cells, cell condition 2 refers to mock experimental control cells without passing through the channel and cell condition 3 refers to the cells collected from the outlet of the constricted channel.
