Electrochemical method and device for detecting the effect of anticancer drugs

摘要

An electrochemical method for detecting effect of an anticancer drug on cancer cells, including: culturing a plurality of cancer cells to form cultured cells, attaching the cultured cells onto an array of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) electrodes, measuring a first electrochemical response of the attached cells onto the array of electrodes, adding an anticancer drug to the attached cells onto the array of electrodes to form drug-treated cells, measuring a second electrochemical response of the drug-treated cells, and determining the effect of the anticancer drug on the cancer cells based on a comparison of the first and the second electrochemical responses.
