See full text

The invention is directed to a method for the manipulation of at least one cell, the method comprising the steps of depositing a metal onto the surface of a substrate, placing the at least one cell at or near the surface of the substrate, and irradiating the surface of the substrate with at least one laser pulse. The inventive method is characterized by the formation of surface structures with a size of one micrometer or less on the surface of the substrate prior to depositing the metal thereon. The invention is also directed to a system for the manipulation of at least one cell, the system comprising a substrate with surface structures having a size of 1 micrometer or less, wherein a metal is deposited on the surface structures, and wherein the system further comprises a laser for irradiating the surface structures.
