Mechanical characterization of oocyte using an opened microchannel environment

We propose a system for mechanical characterization of oocyte using an opened microchannel environment. In this research, we fabricate a robot-integrated microfluidic chip with an opened microchannel formed by micropillars. Additionally we construct the measurement system and demonstrate the mechanical characterization of oocyte.
