Abstract
Single-cell microfluidic RT-qPCR can enable gene expression assays of small volumes, with efficient thermal cycling, and reduced costs. Such devices currently use solution-based methods, which, while well established, do not allow efficient manipulation of samples and reagents or retrieval of reaction products for real-time single-cell genetic analysis. Employing a novel microbead-based approach and for the first time, we present a microchip that integrates all steps for genetic analysis of an individual cell. The effects of the chemotherapy drug (MMS) on the induction of CDKN1A in single human cancer cells (MCF-7) were assayed, demonstrating the potential of the device for single-cell analysis.
