Abstract

See full text

A microdevice for fusing cells, the microdevice including: a substrate; a first electrode array including a plurality of first electrodes, and disposed on the substrate; a microwell array including a plurality of microwells formed respectively at locations corresponding to the plurality of first electrodes, and disposed on the first electrode array; a second electrode disposed above the plurality of microwells, and including a microchannel having a predetermined height; inlet and outlet holes mutually spaced apart from the microchannel; and a power supply unit applying voltage to the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode. Accordingly, a cell trapped in the microwell and a cell disposed on the microwell are aligned in a line between the first and second electrodes, and thus the two cells having different traits are smoothly fused in a one-to-one manner when an electric shock is applied to the two cells.
