Abstract
This paper presents the basics idea and principles of a force sensor for cell injection and characterization of mechanical properties of cells. It utilizes fluidics, piezo resistive MEMS, and piezo actuated mechanics to provide sub-micronewton sensitivity in vertical injection mode. The prototyping, calibration and investigation of the proposed sensor are also presented in brief. Main advantages and drawbacks are also discussed.
