In this process, how to achieve recoverable cell perforation without affecting cell viability is a critical step.
In the process of introducing exogenous substances into cells, the ability of active introduction is the key to improve the introduction efficiency, the success rate and the controllable dosage, and meanwhile, the realization of the targeting and high-flux operation of the cells is also a very important requirement. Traditional cell membrane microsurgical methods include capillary microinjection, electroporation, sonoporation, and viral or chemical delivery, among others. In addition, with the development of laser technology, a method of photo-perforation with non-invasive, non-contact and targeting operation is applied to the field of cell membrane microsurgery. On the one hand, targeted perforation of individual cells can be achieved with tightly focused laser light, and on the other hand, high-throughput perforation of cell populations can be achieved by means of strong absorption of laser light by some metal nanomaterials. However, both methods utilize passive diffusion of exogenous substances into cells after perforation, and thus have the disadvantages of uncontrollable introduced dose and poor reproducibility. In view of the above, a method for performing targeted perforation of single cells by using micro-jet formed by multi-point breakdown induced by a double-pulse laser in water is proposed. The high-speed movement process of the micro jet drives the surrounding medium to move, so that the application potential of actively targeted introduced energy and controllable dosage exists.
