Abstract

We report the fabrication of a microfluidic biochip integrated with an acoustic wave sensor for cell analysis. The sensor serves as a detector for measuring changes in viscoelastic properties (e.g. stiffness) of attached cardiomyocytes (single heart muscle cells) during their contraction and relaxation. The effect of excitation electrode size, use of a hydrogel as a model of contraction, and cell analysis are described.
