Abstract

This paper presents a readout and control architecture for single-cell real-time microsystems. The singlecell microsystem comprises 0.35-μm CMOS electronics combined with post-CMOS processing to form a microhotplate and Platinum (Pt) electrodes, and a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microfluidic device to form the microchannel. The on-chip electronics can measure cell parameters such as rate of cell respiration, cell size, membrane capacitance, and cytoplasm resistance. Further, the on-chip electronics can control the microchannel temperature to quantify single-cell messenger RNA (mRNA) for gene expression by quantitative Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRTPCR). The chip communication is handled with an I 2C digital standard interface.
