Abstract
The invention provides a method for ex vivo analysis of a cell (100). The method includes penetrating the cell membrane (110) of the cell (100) with a first nano electrode (10) and a plurality of second nano electrodes (20, 20′, 20″, . . . ), wherein the first nano electrode (10) and the second nano electrodes (20, 20′, 20″, . . . ) are longitudinally conductive, and measuring a current, as function of time, between the first nano electrode (10) and one or more second nano electrodes (20, 20′, 20″, . . . ), thereby providing an measuring result. The invention further provides an apparatus (1000) for using this method.
