The roles of genes in behavior are still unclear. Measurement of both single cell motion and gene expression (amount of mRNA) are helpful to elucidate the relationship between gene expression and behavior. We have been developing new devices to measure both single-cell motility and gene expression. This measurement requires a fluid device composed of 100 chambers. In this research, to realize such a device, we used a vacuum driven pump and characterized a fluid driven system using vacuum. We changed the pump area of a vacuum driven pump and investigated its influence on a flow rate. This characterization will lead to establishment of the basic technology for a multi-channel device.
