Tracking biological cells with microcell arrays, fourth place in 2012 SMART 100
For researchers who are assessing new strategies to battle cancer, unlocking the power of stem cells or pioneering formulas for new drugs, it takes extreme patience to peer into a microscope every day and observe the smallest units of life that make up all of us. Even more demanding is working with a multitude of cells at once and, when testing their reactions to experiments, sorting out which is which. Microcell arrays provide a way for people in these professions to track cells over several days' time.
