This paper presents the design and analysis of an innovative PDMS probe for investigating mechanotransduction and force generation by mechanosensory cells and organs. The low Young’s modulus of PDMS together with a novel ring-spring probe design allow an easily tunable stiffness of 1–100 mN/m or larger. The probe design limits the fluid drag and allows settling times of 200 $\mu \text{s}$ or less...
We present an innovative design for a flexible probe to study mechanisms of biological force sensing and force generation in the piconewton to micronewton range. Made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and employing a novel ring-spring section with adjustable size, the device works both as a force sensor and force actuator by precise calibration of its tunable stiffness and optical measurement of ring...
