Detection and Control of Micropipette for Single Cell Pickup System

抄録

Disposable one time use glass micropipettes are used for single cell pickup system. Micropipettes are fabricated by glass puller and have slightly different lengths and shapes. We propose a detection system using a two-axis laser sensor combined with visual detection by conventional microscopy for accurate micropipette tip position detection. We have achieved a detection accuracy of 27 μm using laser sensor, and the total detection takes 2 min.
