Single-cell analysis and manipulation

FluidFM from Nanosurf

A multifunctional tool for single-cell biology, tissue engineering, nanopatterning and nanolithography

Fluid force microscopy combines the unique possibilities of nanofluidics with the positional accuracy and force sensitivity of the Nanosurf FlexAFM atomic force microscope to provide a whole new level of control and application possibilities in single-cell biology and beyond. FluidFM is an exclusive add-on product to the Nanosurf FlexAFM.

Features
  • Optical access to the sample and highly accurate pressure, force, and position control
  • Optimized experimental workflows: cell adhesion and spectroscopy mapping; spatial manipulation; deposition and lithography; injection and extraction
  • Complete system integration, operation, and handling via intuitive touchscreen control software

Further information

FluidFM is patented and trademarked by Cytosurge AG. Cytosurge is an ETH Zurich start-up company out of the group of Prof. Janos Vörös of the Laboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectronics. Nanosurf and Cytosurge have signed an exclusive co-operation agreement to jointly develop, produce and market FluidFM technology.
