X-ray transparent microsystem for high-precision handling and characterisation of single cells in the X-ray and XUV range.

Fraunhofer IZI-BB, based in Potsdam, researches and develops special solutions at the interfaces of medicine, life sciences and technology. The focus of the working group "Microfluidic Cell Processing and Cell Analytics" is the development of microfluidic flow systems for gentle and versatile processing of valuable cell samples and single cells, mostly using electrokinetic forces. Combined with microscopic imaging and automated image analysis, selected target cells can be processed individually, even in heterogeneous cell mixtures.
