Abstract

Cell culture technologies were initially developed as research tools for studying cell functions, but nowadays they are essential for the biotechnology industry, with rapidly expanding applications requiring more and more advancements with respect to traditional tools. Miniaturization and integration of sensors and microfluidic components with cell culture techniques open the way to the development of cellomics as a new field of research targeting innovative analytic platforms for high-throughput studies. This approach enables advanced cell studies under controllable conditions by providing inexpensive, easy-tooperate devices. Thanks to their numerous advantages cell-chips have become a hotspot in biosensors and bioelectronics fields and have been applied to very different fields. In this review exemplary applications will be discussed, for cell counting and detection, cytotoxicity assays, migration assays and stem cell studies.
