Driving ForceHealthcare• Yesterday
– Treating Masses– One approach fits all– Large Scale = Economical
• Tomorrow– Individual Care– Personalized Medicine
• Fit to specific genome– Individualized
Care=Efficiency
Biological Research• Yesterday
– Large Cultures of cells– Averages– Fit to biological system
models• Tomorrow
– Single Cell Analysis– Individual Outlier Data– Fits nuances of biological
system models

Fabrication Process

The Question?• Sealing
– No ion penetration through the wall
• Downward Force• Array Density• Processing Time

Why Parylene C?• Biocompatible• Vapor Deposited at room temperature• Highly Conformal• Compressible• Minimizes Gas Diffusion Rate• Optically Transparent

Summary and ConclusionsSingle Cell Metabolic Rate Monitoring System• Understand Cellular Heterogeneity• Thousands of microwell arrays
– Sub-micrometer geometry variation• Parylene C microwell Design
– Improves on existing microwell array design– Potential to greatly enhance single-cell studies– So far promising…but more work needed
