On-Chip Transportation and Measurement of Mechanical Characteristics of Oocytes in an Open Environment

We propose a system that transports oocytes and measures their mechanical characteristics in an open environment using a robot integrated microfluidic chip (chip). The cells are transported through a micropillar array in the chip, and their characteristics are measured by a mechanical probe and a fo...
