Abstract

A new method for the positioning and orientation of adherent cells on a culture substrate is presented. We demonstrate the ability of a micro patterned parylene-C film deposited on a fused silica substrate to position, isolate and/or orientate cells. Such features are crucial for the development of future biodevices for the analysis and treatment of single-cell or organized cell tissues. In particular, our method is advantageous for controlling the orientation of the cells within an organized tissue while being exposed to an electrical field. The developed method does not require any chemical treatment of the cells or any additional surface modification and is suitable for integration into a microfluidic system.
