研究目的
The design and development of a device for cellular characterization based on a pyroelectric sensor to investigate how the induced pyroelectric response is related to cell properties such as concentration and viability.
研究成果
The pyroelectric sensor shows a linear increase in output with cell concentration due to changes in thermal conductivity, but no significant variation with reduced viability, likely due to decreased mitochondrial activity. This suggests potential for a low-cost device for cell characterization, though more research is required to confirm applicability across diverse biological samples.
研究不足
The study is limited to one cell line (LNCap) and specific experimental conditions; further validation with other cell types and larger sample sizes is needed. The sensor may have sensitivity issues at very low concentrations or with varying environmental factors.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment uses a pyroelectric sensor with a PVDF thin film stimulated by infrared light to induce a temperature rise and pyroelectric response, modeled with thermal conductance and heat capacity. A charge sensitive amplifier processes the output signal, and the area under the curve (AUC) of the response is evaluated.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Human prostate carcinoma cell line LNCap was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium at 37°C with 5% CO2. Samples of different cell concentrations (0.25×10^3 to 8×10^3 cells) and viabilities (assessed via Trypan blue dye exclusion test) were analyzed.

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: PVDF film (20 μm thickness, circular geometry, radius 0.25 cm), infrared source (wavelength 850 nm), sample well (cylindric, volume 25 μL), charge sensitive amplifier, pipette for sample handling, incubator, and culture flasks.
4：25 cm), infrared source (wavelength 850 nm), sample well (cylindric, volume 25 μL), charge sensitive amplifier, pipette for sample handling, incubator, and culture flasks.
Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: A 25 μL sample was pipetted into the well. Infrared pulses (1 Hz repetition rate, 2% and 5% duty cycle) were applied, and the pyroelectric response was measured. Data were collected and analyzed for AUC.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The AUC of the sensor output signal was calculated to assess dependence on cell concentration and viability, using statistical comparisons for significance.
