Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A novel SH-SAW biosensor capable of non-invasive and touch-free detection of cancer cell viability and growth or proliferation in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures as well as stem cell regeneration as it pertains to cancer cell biology and anti-cancer drug development is presented. The biosensor includes two pairs of resonators including interdigital transducers reflecting fingers to quantify mass loading by the cells in suspension as well as within a tumoroid culture platform. The biosensor can be part of a perfused 3PNS-tumoroid system that is amenable to real-time non-invasive monitoring of the cell proliferation, viability, and multiplexed detection of key physiologic and clinical biomarkers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A non-invasive and touch-free method of detecting and quantifying cell growth and viability comprising: providing a microfluidic chip containing a shear horizontal-surface acoustic wave device comprising: two pairs of resonators formed on a lithium tantalate substrate wherein each resonator is comprised of at least two interdigital transducers, each having at least one pair of reflecting fingers; at least one pH measurement electrode, at least one oxygen…
