Abstract :
A novel single CMOS chip contains both the actuation and sensing parts is presented. Experimental results showed that the proposed chip can inline process the trapping, levitation, sensing and characterize biocells. Moreover, the proposed chip can deal with the biological systems at the cell level and it can extract real time information about the biological cells behaviors using direct measurements
