Abstract :
The electrophoretic mobility (EPM) measurement of synchronized cells using an on-chip electrophoresis system was studied. The EPM has been demonstrated to be different between synchronized and nonsynchronized cells. On-chip EPM measurement is expected to be a promising analysis method for evaluating cell cycle stage and to be useful in clinical and pharmaceutical applications.
