Abstract
The ability to correlate single-cell genetic information with cellular phenotypes holds the potential to interpret disease pathways that is not attainable from bulk analysis. Microfluidics is attractive for single-cell analysis due to precise handling, low risk of contamination, reduced reagent cost and parallelized operation. We present an integrated microfluidic array for parallelized single-cell messenger RNA (mRNA) transcriptional analysis using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The transcriptional levels of individual human cancer cells (MCF-7) were assayed for the induction of CDKN1A using a Taqman probe/primer set in the array.
