N2 - The use of microfluidic system is a trend in diagnostic assays and bioreactors based on the protein and cellular engineering. In the development of such devices, it would be essentially required to pattern proteins and cells within microchannels just prior to the use of the devices, since such delicate biomaterials exhibit the lower stability against desiccation, oxidation and heat. We have developed a microfluidic device which enables the real-time immobilization of proteins and cells within the microchannels using electrochemical means. This technique is easily applicable to the ordinary microfluidic systems, opening new possibilities for the microchannel-based bioassays.
