Cell analysis method comprises applying single cell in drop of solution to functionalized position connected to contact and measuring electrical parameters between contact and second contact on patch pipette

摘要

Cell analysis method comprises applying a single cell (5) or a small number of cells in a drop (7) of cell solution to a measuring position on a solid substrate (1) which is functionalized to hold the drop in position and is connected to a contact. A patch pipette (9) with a second contact is moved down until it touches the cell and the electrical parameters between the two contacts are measured.
