Abstract

See full text

A method for detecting cellular differentiation using Optophoretic analysis is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a plurality of cells, moving an optical gradient relative to the plurality of cells so as to cause displacement of at least some of the plurality of cells, measuring the travel distance of at least some of the plurality of cells, repeating the steps of moving the optical gradient and measuring the travel distance of at least some of the plurality of cells, and identifying those cells having changing travel distances. The method is able to detect the early onset of cellular differentiation. The method is also applicable to detecting and monitoring adipogenesis.
