Abstract

In this work, we use a single cell trapping array device for cytotoxic drug investigations on a large amount of single cells. The uniform and precise microenvironment for each single cell rigorously controls the drug assay experiment. The dynamic perfusion flow supplies media with/without drug to properly simulate the in vivo drug delivery mode. Drug assays for both adherent and non-adherent cell lines were demonstrated in the device. We have evaluated dose conditions of Taxol on HeLa and HL-60 cells. By tracing each single cells before, during and after the drug exposure, we first correlate the lifetime of the cells and their condition when exposing to the drug.
