METHOD AND ASSEMBLY FOR DETERMINING CELL VITALITIES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and to an assembly for determining cell vitalities. The method comprises the steps of binding living cells (15) to magnetic particles (4), adding them to a sensor array (14), uniformly distributing over the sensor array (14), magnetically fixing the magnetic particles (4) having the bound cells (15) over the sensor array (14), and adding substances to maintain and/or improve the cell vitality to the sensor array (14), and/or adding substances to worsen the cell vitality to the sensor array (14). The assembly comprises a sensor array (14) composed of sensors (17), which are designed to be in direct fluidic contact with a fluid, and a device for generating a magnetic field (5) over the sensor array (14). A layer that comprises magnetic particles (4) and living cells (15) is designed on the sensor array (14).
