Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanical stimulation setup and high‐throughput whole cell mechanical analysis. (A) T75 flasks are attached to the nanovibration device by adhesive magnets. The device utilizes piezo actuators to vibrate the plate vertically. The nanovibration device is calibrated to output sinusoidal motion of 1000‐Hz frequency and 30‐nm amplitude. (B) Bioreactor's calibration profile using laser interferometry presenting an output signal of 1000 Hz frequency and 30.42 ± 1.75 nm (Mean ± SD) amplitude. (C) Cell's mechanical properties are tested utilizing Real‐Time Deformability Cytometry. The samples are tested under zero stress (reservoir) and under stress (channel). High‐throughput technique allows testing n = 5000 under 2 min assuming 1 × 10 6 cells/mL.
Article Snippet: Osteosarcoma immortalized cells, MG63, were cultured in T75 cell culture flasks (Fisher Scientific, 10 364 131) using Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (VWR, 392–0415) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Fisher Scientific, 17 593 595), non‐essential amino acids (Thermo Fisher, 11 140 050), and Penicillin–Streptomycin (Pen/Strep) (Merck, P4458) in a humidified incubator at 37°C in 5% CO 2 .
