Measuring single-cell density.
We have used a microfluidic mass sensor to measure the density of single living cells. By weighing each cell in two fluids of different densities, our technique measures the single-cell mass, volume, and density of approximately 500 cells per hour with a density precision of 0.001 g mL(-1). We observe that the intrinsic cell-to-cell variation in density is nearly 100-fold smaller than the mass ...
متن کاملMeasuring single cell mass, volume, and density with dual suspended microchannel resonators.
Cell size, measured as either volume or mass, is a fundamental indicator of cell state. Far more tightly regulated than size is density, the ratio between mass and volume, which can be used to distinguish between cell populations even when volume and mass appear to remain constant. Here we expand upon a previous method for measuring cell density involving a suspended microchannel resonator (SMR...
متن کاملMeasuring Heterogeneous Traffic Density
Traffic Density provides an indication of the level of service being provided to the road users. Hence, there is a need to study the traffic flow characteristics with specific reference to density in detail. When the length and speed of the vehicles in a traffic stream vary significantly, the concept of occupancy, rather than density, is more appropriate to describe traffic concentration. When ...
متن کاملSimplified methods for measuring enzyme kinetics in a single cell.
We discuss techniques for measuring myeloperoxidase activity cytochemically in isolated polymorphonuclear neutrophils. We have used a sophisticated scanning microdensitometer as a reference device and compared results obtained by Zeiss Ultraphot III B and Reichert Zetopan microscopes with those of the scanning microdensitometer. We made both end-point and kinetic measurements, using conventiona...
متن کاملFrom measuring noise toward integrated single-cell biology
A single cell is inherently noisy. This noise is observed as a variability or heterogeneity between individual cells’ responses in an isogenic population, and emerges from fundamental physical process governing state of the cell over time. In practice, states of two seemingly identical cells may be different in the same environment; and in fact the behavior of the population average my not corr...
