Abstract
Silicon micromachining has been used to fabricate microprobes for injecting DNA into cells. Arrays of very sharp pyramidal points are etched on a silicon substrate. Pressing these points into a culture of cells, allows biologically active material to cross the cell wall barrier. Using the microprobes, DNA has been injected into plant (tobacco leaves) and animal (nematodes) cells.
