Scientists Develop New Microfluidic Device to Test Effects of Electric Fields on Cancer Cells

Researchers at MIT’s research center in Singapore have developed a new microfluidic device that tests the effects of electric fields on cancer cells. They observed that a range of low-intensity, middle-frequency electric fields effectively stopped breast and lung cancer cells from growing and spreading, while having no adverse effect on neighboring healthy cells.

New Microfluidic Device Creates Equally Sized Nanodroplets

One drop with the volume of a millionth of a litre is actually not extremely large and does not even resemble like something that can be used for a lot of things. However, the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw developed a simple device capable of dividing microdroplet into a group of nanodroplets that are all of the same size.
