Many types of compounds can be injected into adhered cells using the FluidFM® technology. The following conditions have been determined by injecting Lucifer Yellow into different cell lines with a FluidFM system and resulted in high cell viability. The values can be used as a starting point for injection workflows, and are meant to be adjusted for each cell line and injected solution.
