Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intracellular transport processing, in particular to a system, a general control device, a microcontroller and a method for transporting substances into cells. Background technique

[0002] In microassembly and gene editing, such as transfection of DNA and RNA, it involves the step of transporting foreign substances into the interior of the cell. The current intracellular delivery scheme has the following problems:

[0003] Cells need to be fixed before transfer operation to prevent cell movement during operation. Traditional fixation methods, such as the use of microneedles to adsorb cells, cannot fix and arrange more cells in a short period of time, resulting in low intracellular transport efficiency.

[0004] Traditional intracellular transport methods are generally biological and chemical transport methods, such as vesicles, viruses, etc. as carriers, and physical methods: electroporation, microflui...
