Co-integration of flip-tip patch clamp and microelectrode arrays for in-vitro recording of electrical acvity of heart cells

The patch clamp has been widely considered the gold standard to measure intracellular ionic activity of single cells [1]. However, patch clamping is a laborious method and suffers from low throughput. To mitigate the disadvantages of patch clamping, planar patch clamp (PPC) chips with higher throughput have been recently introduced [2-3]. Yet...
