Abstract
This paper introduces a biochip which contains a microchamber for measuring the mechanical properties of cells without physically touching them. Unlike previous methods, dissipative forces such as friction are avoidable increasing the accuracy of our measurements. This can be used for cancer detection at an early stage based on the fact that cancerous cells are more elastic than normal cells as well as for studying the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the biochemical pathways in the cell.
