摘 要:We propose a novel on-chip 3D cell rotation method based on a vibration-induced *** circular vibration is applied to a microchip with micropillar patterns,a highly localized whirling flow is induced around the *** direction and velocity of this flow can be controlled by changing the direction and amplitude of the applied ***,this flow can be induced on an open chip *** this study,we adopted a microchip with three micropillars arranged in a triangular configuration and an xyz piezoelectric actuator to apply the circular *** the centre of the micropillars,the interference of the vibration-induced flows originating from the individual micropillars induces rotational ***,a biological cell placed at this centre rotates under the influence of the *** three-plane circular vibrations in the xy,xz or yz plane,the cell can rotate in both the focal and vertical planes of the *** this 3D cell rotation method,we measured the rotational speeds of mouse oocytes in the focal and vertical planes as 63.7±4.0°s^(−1) and 3.5±2.1°s^(−1),***,we demonstrated the transportation and rotation of the mouse oocytes and re-positioned their nuclei into a position observable by microscope.
