FORCE CALIBRATION OF MICRO PIPETTES FOR SINGLE-CELL PROBING

Abstract:
Force calibration of micro pipettes is described used for the application of mechanical stress to isolated ventricular cardiomyocytes which are immobilized on glass substrates. For this purpose two methods have been developed based on a nano-Newton compensation balance at PTB and cantilever-type silicon sensors used as transferable force standards, respectively.
