Abstract
The invention relates to a measuring device () for measuring physical characteristics of cells. The device () comprises: a microfluidic chip () provided with a flow channel () for allowing cells to flow through; a manipulator () configured to apply deformation force to a cell in a continuous flow; and a sensor () configured to sense a physical characteristic of the cell. The manipulator () and the sensor () are configured to define a width (W) of the flow channel () as a gap formed between them. The manipulator () is configured to apply the deformation force to the cell by compressing the cell against the sensor ().
