- Abstract
- Single cell manipulation is important in biosensing, biorobotics, and quantitative cell analysis. Although microbeads, droplets, and microrobots have been developed previously, it is still challenging to simultaneously excise, capture, and manipulate single cells in a biocompatible manner. Here, we describe untethered single cell grippers, that can be remotely guided and actuated on-demand to actively capture or excise individual or few cells. We describe a novel molding method to micropattern a thermally responsive wax layer for biocompatible motion actuation. The multifingered grippers derive their energy from the triggered release of residual differential stress in bilayer hinges composed of silicon oxides. A magnetic layer enables remote guidance through narrow conduits and fixed tissue sections ex vivo. Our results provide an important advance in high-throughput single cell scale biopsy tools important to lab-on-a-chip devices, microrobotics, and minimally invasive surgery.
