Explore a groundbreaking electronic method for cell phenotyping called Node-Pore Sensing (NPS) in this 32-minute webinar presented by Dr. Lydia L. Sohn. Learn how this innovative technique uses a four-terminal measurement to analyze cells as they transit through a microfluidic channel with inserted nodes. Discover how "mechano-NPS" can distinguish between sublineages of primary human mammary epithelial cells and even determine the chronological age groups of women from whom these cells were derived, based solely on cellular mechanical properties. Gain insights into the application of NPS for label-free immunophenotyping of cells. Understand the potential of this versatile method in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, and how it can simultaneously measure a cell's size, resistance to deformation, transverse deformation, and recovery ability.
