Compression test of a living cell

17 Jul 2023

Infection and disease frequently result in variations in the mechanical properties of living cells. Quantitative nanomechanical tests of cell membrane stiffness can help identify if and how a single cell was affected. In this application note, Bruker Nano utilizes a Hysitron® TI Series TriboIndenter® to perform compression tests on a single cell with a diamond fluid cell 100 μm flat end 90° conical probe.
