Abstract
Among others, the present invention provides micro-devices for detecting or treating a disease, each comprising a first micro sensor for detecting a property of the biological sample at the microscopic level, and an interior wall defining a channel, wherein the micro sensor is located in the interior wall of the micro-device and detects the property of the biological sample in the microscopic level, and the biological sample is transported within the channel
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first micro device configured to detect a property of a biological sample at a microscopic level, wherein the first micro device comprises:
- a base, and
- a probe coupled to the base at a first end and including a probe tip at a second end, wherein the probe tip is configured to contact the biological sample and apply a disturbing signal to the biological sample, and
- a second micro device configured to measure at least one property of the biological sample in response to the disturbing signal.
