Abstract

The advances of microfluidic technologies have promoted researchers to study the inherent heterogeneity of single cells in cell populations. This will be helpful in the acknowledgment of major disease and invention of personalized medicine. Different microfluidic approaches provide varieties of functions in the process of single-cell analysis. In this chapter, we introduce decades of the history in single-cell analysis and give an outline of the mechanisms of various microfluidic-based approaches for cell sorting, single-cell isolation, and single-cell lysis.
