A novel method for microfluidic manipulation and / or analysis of particles (eg, cells, viruses, organelles, beads and / or vesicles) is provided. Devices, methods and kits for microfluidic manipulation and / or detection of particles such as cells and / or beads are provided. A microfluidic mechanism for performing these manipulations and analyzes comprising devices, methods and kits for the microfluidic manipulation and / or analysis of particles such as cells, viruses, organelles, beads, and / or vesicles. These mechanisms allow controlled input, movement / placement, retention / localization, processing, measurement, release, and / or output of particles. Further, these mechanisms can be combined in any suitable order in the system and utilized any suitable number of times. [Selection figure] None |
