LASER-ASSISTED REPOSITIONING OF A MICRO-OBJECT AND CULTURING OF AN ATTACHMENT-DEPENDENT CELL IN A MICROFLUIDIC ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Methods for laser-assisted repositioning of a micro-object and for culturing an attachment-dependent biological cell within a microfluidic device are described herein. Laser illumination is used to controllably create a bubble which repositions the micro-object. Further, methods of culturing an attachment-dependent biological cell are described, where the methods may include laser-assisted repositioning.
