M_kit: A cell migration assay based on microfluidic device and smartphone.

ABSTRACT: Mobile sensing based on the integration of microfluidic device and smartphone, so-called MS² technology, has enabled many applications over recent years, and continues to stimulate growing interest in both research communities and industries. In particular, it has been envisioned that MS² technology can be developed for various cell functional assays to enable basic research and clinical applications. Toward this direction, in this paper, we describe the development of a MS²-based cell functional assay for testing cell migration (the M_kit). The system is constructed as an integrated test kit, which includes microfluidic chips, a smartphone-based imaging platform, the phone apps for image capturing and data analysis, and a set of reagent and acces
