Example Embodiment

[0077] Experimental example

[0078] Flow rate comparison

[0079] Figure 9 Photographs taken after the same time period have elapsed for both the prior art and the disclosed experimental conditions are shown.

[0080] refer to Figure 9 , it can be seen that the cell positions are different due to the different flow rates in the prior art. However, it can be seen that the present disclosure shows a constant and uniform flow rate.

[0081] In other words, in the prior art, the flow rate was non-uniform because the cells diffusely flowed widely in the channel. However, the droplets according to the present disclosure are generated at the center of the channel, which means that the droplets flow with a very uniform shape and velocity. This means that in the case of the present disclosure encapsulating cells in the form of droplets, the flow rate is almost unchanged despite the microfluidic behavior. This thus results in homogeneous material delivery within the cell. ...

Abstract

There is provided a method for delivering a material into a cell, comprising the steps of forming a droplet of the material to be delivered and the cell and subjecting the formed droplet to deformation to deliver the material to be delivered into the cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to droplet deformation-based methods and chips therefor for delivering materials into cells, and, more particularly, to improvements in the intracellular delivery of materials achieved through the use of droplets comprising a hydrophilic solution containing cells Droplet deformation-based methods for delivering materials into cells and chips therefor for efficiency, economic feasibility, etc. Background technique [0002] Intracellular delivery of materials is one of the most fundamental experiments in cell engineering. Materials are typically delivered using a carrier or by defining nanopores in the cell membrane / nuclear membrane. In viral or liposome-centric vector technologies, efficient material delivery is possible when the technology is optimized, but there are limitations such as safety, slow delivery, labor / cost-intensive vector preparation, and low reproducibility And other issues. [0003] On the other hand, ...
