Abstract

This paper investigated an ultrasound vibration cell patterning technique. The ultrasound cell culture dish consisted of a culture dish with a glass bottom and a glass disc with a piezoelectric ring that generated a resonance flexural vibration mode on the bottom of the dish. The growth of HeLa cells on the dish was observed under ultrasound excitation for 24 h. Large ultrasound vibrations on the dish inhibited the cell growth. The acoustic field was predicted with finite element analysis and it was found that the cell growth depended strongly on both the acoustic field in the culture medium and the vibration distribution of the dish. The ultrasound vibrations did not affect the viability of the cells, and the cell growth could be controlled by the flexural vibration of the cultured dish.
