Abstract

Here, a polymeric atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe with embedded fluidic channels and apertures at the tip end (named FluidTIP) is developed for diverse applications of bio-patterning and single cell manipulations. The FluidTIP is fabricated using two-photon polymerization, and designed in complex three-dimensional (3D) geometries and with various features for seamless integration with experimental setups. In particular, its primary design included single fluidic channel and aperture for fluid injection or suction, while its advanced design included dual channels and apertures for simultaneous fluid injection and suction. In agreement with parametric characterization, the FluidTIP showed excellent capabilities for AFM imaging and force measurements along with attaining control over fluidic delivery and retrieval to/from the targeted biological microenvironment.
