The present invention disclosed a nano-electrode based transparent chip, which is applicable to perform a micro fluidic substance diffused through a specific region of a single cell membrane by localized electroporation technique with membrane reversibility. The chip comprises a silicon-based layer, different structural layers, an insulating layer and a micro fluidic layer. When the individual single cell was placed on the gap between a plurality of triangular-shaped nano-electrodes with nano-tip, then electric field can intense on a specific region of the individual single cell causes the formation of nano-pores on the membrane, resulting to deliver drugs, DNA molecules from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell with a high transfection rate and a high cell viability. This technique not only generates well-controlled nano-pores to allow rapid recovery of the cell membrane, but also provides clear optical path for potentially monitoring/tracing the drugs into the cell. |
