Electrical sensing of single oocytes in microfluidic systems: A mini review
Uwe Schnakenberg,
Yuan Cao
Abstract:The non‐invasive and label‐free electrical characterization of single cells is increasingly gaining interest over the last years. Besides cancer cells, oocytes are in the focus of those investigations. The study of oocytes is relevant for two areas: on the one hand, the quality of mammalian oocytes is important in artificial reproduction technology for a high fertilization yield. On the other hand, amphibian oocytes are well established to be used as host cells for the characterization of ion‐channel kinetics … Show more
