Micro/nano robots have been actively studied. Recently, the micro living organisms, especially flagellated bacteria, have been used as the driving forces for the microobjects. To achieve the more precise control of the bacteria-driven microobjects, we previously proposed to control the motion of the bacteria-driven microobjects by local environmental control with micro/nano pipettes. To achieve such...
Mechatronics was born in Japan in 1969. It is the synergetic integration of the Mechanical engineering and Electronic engineering with computer technology. It is a design discipline for the system integration for the structure and control of the target system. Today's mechatronics has advanced more and more to wider and broader areas, such as Micro and Nano mechatronics. In this lecture, this field...
This paper presents the evaluation of ultra-minimal spout amount from micro-nano pipettes into phospholipid-coated micro-droplets. The pipettes can be used to control the local environment around/inside single cells. Conventionally, the microinjection with pipette has been conducted by air pressures. In this method, the spout of high viscosity solutions is difficult because of the frictional forces...
Single cell analysis has attracted much attention to reveal the detailed and localized biological information. Local environmental control technique is desired to analyze the detailed and localized properties of a single cell. In this paper, we propose the local environmental control system with nano/micro dual pipettes to control the local reagent concentration dynamically and arbitrarily. Local...
Single cell analysis gets a lot of attentions to reveal the unknown biological aspects of individual cells. To analyze properties of a single cell, local environmental control is desired. We propose a novel type of nanopipette where a lipid nanotube (LNT) as a nanochannel is attached to apply the minimal changes to the environment. LNTs have hollow cylindrical nanostructures consisting of lipid bilayer...
