Figure 1.
The components of the multiplex single-cell detection system. The operation requires a clamp that houses the single-cell microchip, a pipettor and biochemical reagents. Detection and recording of signal needs a low-end portable bright field microscope equipped with a digital camera. The top right image shows individual cells in microchambers, and the bottom right image shows sample single-cell protein data after gold enhancement. Scale bars in these two images are 200 μm and 100 μm, respectively.
