Cell Analysis device (IMAGE)
Caption
The tiny cell processing device has a channel as as thin as a human hair in which cells flow through. They are captured by the cell immobilization features, rinsed, and then lysed (popped open) by applying electrical pulses. The gold on top of the device are integrated electrodes that line the channel. These electrodes apply the pulses needed for lysis. After lysis, the biochemicals flow out of the device and into the mass spectrometer for analysis.
