THE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIATING TARGET CELL

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for distinguishing target cells are provided to distinguish a target cell in a biological sample by an elasticity value. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for distinguishing target cells comprises a cantilever, a tip, a measuring unit, and a converting unit. The cantilever has a fixing end and a free end, and is elastically modified. The tip is placed on the free end of the cantilever and contacts the surface of cells. The measuring unit is connected to the fixing end of the cantilever, and measures a repulsive power depending on the elastic deformation of the cantilever.
