Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for single cell trap and position fixing of the trapped cell thereof, and specifically, it induces cell movement from where fluid flows strongly to where the fluid flows weakly, by injecting pressed air to an air channel to modify a thin film of a vibrator, and therefore to induce the fluid flow. Further, the present invention relates to an apparatus which can fix the cell position as well as minimizing the external stimulation to the cells, wherein single cells are trapped in a region wherein the fluid flows are minimized and their positions are fixed using the effect that the fluid flows induced by the vibrators are offset one another because the vibrators are formed symmetrically one another.
