Novel applications of FluidFM OMNIUM in combination with high resolution label-free biosensors
Proposed by Kinga Dóra KovácsThe present talk shortly introduces the main research activity of the Nanobiosensorics Laboratory (Budapest, Hungary, https://nanobiosensorics.com) especially in relation to fluidic force microscopy. We mainly focus on label-free techniques for cell biological and biophysical research and on developing kinetic biophysical models (Kanyo et al., 2020; Saftics et al., 2021). Recently by employing resonant waveguide gratings, we could demonstrate single-cell resolution and measure the adhesion kinetics of various cells (Sztilkovics et al., 2020). The FluidFM OMNIUM perfectly fits into these research lines. With the help of the instrument we are focusing on 3 main research directions: i patterning cell adhesive motives (Saftics et al., 2019), ii nanoinjection of plasmids, vesicles and nanoparticles (Peter et al., 2018), iii high-throughput single-cell adhesion measurements and force calibration of label-free optical signals (Sztilkovics et al., 2020).
