Abstract
In this paper, we discuss a development of air-flow based on-chip single cell dispensing system. To improve success rate of single cell dispensing, the developed system is composed of a cell loader, an inkjet mechanism and two pair of capacitance sensors to dispense a droplet with a single cell. The performance of the sensor and the inkjet are confirmed using a developed platform with a fabricated microfluidic biochip. Based on these characteristics, the disposable microchip is fabricated by photolithography technique. Finally, we succeeded in automatic dispensing of a single bead with the diameter of 100 μm using developed cell dispensing system.
