A miniaturized EHT platform for contractile tissue measurements

We presented the smallest and best characterised EHT devices to date. The devices were fabricated by wafer-scale silicon and polymer processing, characterised by nanoindentation and finite-element simulations, and transferred to 96-well plates for cell seeding and optical tracking of bundle contraction. Cell bundles remained functional for at least 18 days. Pacing electrodes and strain sensors will be added for improved bundle control.
