Abstract

This paper presents robust single cell traps fabricated in a microfluidic channel by two-photon polymerization (2PP) that withstand a very high average flow velocity of 1 m/s. The traps consist of a direct laser written thin grid structure allowing a good flow around the captured cells as well as optical measurements. Therefore, they enable the characterization of binding kinetics between active sub-stances and cells. The traps have the shape of half a circular cylinder and capture the cells hydrody-namically. Jurkat cells with a diameter of 15 μm are captured in every trap within the first seconds of sample injection.
