DEVICE FOR ANALYSIS OF CELLULAR MOTILITY

摘要

The present invention relates to a mesoscale fluidic system comprising a substrate having a first analysis chamber in fluid communication with a further analysis chamber via a passageway; the passageway having an entrance port in fluid communication with the first analysis chamber and an exit port in fluid communication with the further analysis chamber, wherein the cross-sectional area of the entrance port is larger than the cross-sectional area of the exit port. The system of the invention may be used in a method of estimating the quantity and motility of cells in a sample or a method of separating motile cells in a sample based on their motility.
