Label-free determination of the number of biomolecules attached to cells by measurement of the cell's electrophoretic mobility in a microchannel.

We developed a label-free method for a determination of the number of biomolecules attached to individual cells by measuring the electrophoretic mobility of the cells in a microchannel. The surface of a biological cell, which is dispersed in aqueous solution, is normally electrically charged and the...
