摘要: This paper presents the use of electrodeformation as a method for single cell mechanical characterization. Cells were placed between two microelectrodes with a rectangular AC electric field applied and cell deformation recorded. Numerical simulations were performed to model cell electrodeformation based on the Maxwell stress tensor formulation in which effects of cell electrical property variations on their electrodeformed behaviors were investigated. By comparing the measured morphological changes with those obtained from numerical simulations, we were able to quantify Young's modulus of SiHa cells (601±183 Pa) and ME180 cells (1463±649 Pa), which were then verified using conventional micropipette aspiration (SiHa: 400±290 Pa and ME180: 1070±580 Pa).
