ABSTRACT:
The microfabricated cell injector having an injection wall and a cell injection needle projecting from the wall for piercing cells suspended in a fluid. The needle is held within a housing defined by the internal surfaces of the microfabricated cell injector. The housing has an inlet for suspended cells to enter and an outlet for cells to exit via the cell injection needle. A cell propulsion device is provided for impelling cells towards the needle such that, in use, cells suspended in the fluid are impelled towards the injection wall by the injection needle.
