Applications
FluidFM - Go beyond current technological boundaries.
FluidFM BOT BIO Series
Cutting-edge systems for single cell research – from single cell gene editing to drug research and toxicology.
Single cell CRISPR delivery
Direct intra-nuclear CRISPR delivery. Place your complexes directly where they are required: in the nucleus.
Single cell drug assays
Deliver compounds directly into the cell. A suitable delivery method for any compound. More>
Cell isolation
Choose the cell you want – place it where you want. No unnecessary cell stress: directly from the culture plate. No extra labelling nor toxic compounds, high viability (> 95%).
Full versatility for core labs
Unlock original research at the nano- and micro-scale. From gene engineering and cell isolation to single cell adhesion assays, through to micro-patterning of surfaces and the building of neuronal networks. Boost collaboration. For service-based core facilities.

Optimizing drugs
Millions of people suffer from Leukemia around the world. While treatment drugs exist, cancer regularly develops a resistance against them. Researchers from both the University Hospital Würzburg and the University Würzburg found potentially a new approach to overcome resistance to the recently approved Midostaurin drug and even increase the drug's activity, with help of FluidFM cell measurements.
FluidFM: Combining AFM and Nanofluidics
We describe the FluidFM, an atomic force microscope (AFM) based on hollow cantilevers for local liquid dispensing and stimulation of single living cells under physiological conditions. The universality and versatility of the fluidFM will stimulate original experiments at the submicrometer scale not only in biology but also in physics, chemistry, and material science.
Calibrating high-throughput devices
Single cell force spectroscopy offers fundamental insights into many fields yet suffers from low throughput. MTA Budapest tremendously speeds up the acquisition of single cell adhesion data by using FluidFM adhesion measurements to calibrate an optical sensor array. Thus, they are able mechanically monitor more than 1000 adherent cells in parallel.
