Abstract
We report a force sensor array that can measure iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPS-CMs) contractility with high sensitivity and high temporal resolution. The fabricated device has six piezoresistive cantilevers whose sensitivities were higher than 9.1 × 10−5 nN−1. Using the device, we measured the contraction force of an iPS-CMs layer. As a result, contractile forces ranging from 1 to 12 nN were measured.
