Label-free analysis of the characteristics of a single cell trapped by acoustic tweezers
Abstract Single-cell analysis is essential to understand the physical and functional characteristics of cells. The basic knowledge of these characteristics is important to elucidate the unique features of various cells and causative factors of diseases and determine the most effective treatments for...
