Definitions
- the aim is to achieve a low-impedance coupling between the cell or the tissue and a conductive electrode.
- a generally poor electrical and mechanical coupling between electrode and cell or tissue results in a purely external discharge, for example in multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) by the generally relatively large distance of on average over 40 nm between electrode and cell and the influence of electric double layers in the aqueous phase both on the electrode surface and on the cell membrane.
- MEAs multi-electrode arrays
- DC or frequency components to adverse electrochemical processes on the surfaces and in the aqueous phase Such electrochemical processes lead to distortions of applied or derived electrical signals.
- the present invention seeks to provide a method for electrically contacting a membranumhüllten object, such as a biological cell, in which the lowest possible coupling impedance between the membrane-coated object and the electrode is achieved.
- the invention provides that for contacting at least one electrode is used with a conductive support on which a plurality of nanowires is arranged and on the adjacent nanopiples to each other have a distance which is smaller than the size of the membranumhüllten object, and that the membrane-coated Object is brought into contact with the Nanonadeln.
- the membrane-enveloped object may be, for example, a biological (human, animal, or plant) cell, a liposome, a lipid film (eg, black-lipid membrane), or a multilamellar structure.
- the shape design of the nanopipes is arbitrary;
- the nanopipes can have any cross-section (round, square, oval, etc.) as well as any ratio between length and width.
- the nanotubes can be longer than they are wide or, alternatively, wider than they can be long.
- they may be columnar or club shaped and form nanorods or nanowires.
- the shape of the "needle tip" or the needle end face can be very different be configured: For example, the needle face may have a burr or taper.
- An essential advantage of the method according to the invention is that due to the nanopipes arranged on the surface of the electrode, a very intimate contact between the electrode and the object and thus a very low contact resistance or contact impedance are achieved. While cells generally settle on smooth planar surfaces with a distance of at least 40 nm from the surface, a significantly smaller distance is achieved with the electrode used according to the invention, as a result of which the electrical transition resistance or transition impedance is reduced and the discharge or read-out electrical measuring signals can be carried out with higher accuracy than in previous contacting procedures.
- Another significant advantage of the method according to the invention is the fact that, despite the presence of needles, the contacting is not invasive; this is u. a. due to the fact that the needles are designed as nanotubes and also have a distance between them that is smaller than the size of the object. This arrangement also causes the object to sink in between the nanoparticles without damaging or penetrating the membrane of the membrane-encased object.
- a third advantage of the method according to the invention can be seen in the fact that the use of the "needle-decorated" electrode described allows the mapping of the electrical cell activity or stimulation to be very error-free, spatially resolved as well as time-resolved.In addition, impedance characteristics of adherently growing cells be detected very accurately under physiological conditions.
- the needle tips of the nanorods formed by the nanorods represent focal contact points at which the distance between the membrane and the needle surface is less than 10 nm, without penetrating the membrane.
- the membrane contact surfaces to the nano- needle tip Due to the small size of the membrane contact surfaces to the nano- needle tip, special molecular structures are formed, in particular in cells in the membrane or in the immediate vicinity of the membrane, which support the intimate contact of the membrane with the needle surface. Due to the high attractive interaction forces due to the small distance (eg Van der Waals force), the contact reliability is further improved. This can lead to the formation of anisotropic membrane areas.
- an electrode in which the needle needles are at least partially distributed irregularly, in particular stochastically, on the carrier.
- the nanotubes are distributed irregularly or stochastically on the support and thus form at least partially areas of needles or needle groups adjacent to each other at different distances, cell-physiologically beneficial effects are additionally induced: in contrast to strictly symmetrical nanoneedle arrays, irregularly spaced nanoneedle arrays
- the stochastically arranged nanopipes generally avoid overstimulation, which can lead to a stress situation (eg phagocytosis induction by carbon nanotubes) and thus to unphysiological conditions.
- an electrode in which the nanopipes on the support are distributed irregularly, in particular stochastically, in at least one section and are regularly distributed in at least one other section.
- a change between areas with regular needle arrangement and those with irregular needle arrangement ensures a good nestling of the object to the carrier and also simplifies an automatic, for example, computer-assisted recognition of the electrode areas and thus an automatic, in particular optical characterization of the cells.
- the electrode may be formed solely by a substrate on which cells can grow.
- the nanotubes may be metallic (mono- or polycrystalline), for example.
- the nanopipes and the carrier may consist of the same or different materials, for example, the carrier and / or the nanotubes of a noble metal, preferably gold or platinum, a base metal, preferably titanium, from a conductive, non-conductive or poorly conductive polymer or a semiconductor material or comprise such a material.
- a nano-needle-bearing surface needles of a limited area are electrically connected to the surface and form an electrode, adjacent needles either being associated with another electrode or not electrically contacted to the outside.
- at least one needle section which is electrically contactable and at least one needle section which is not electrically contactable are combined with one another.
- the nanotubes consist of a conductive material, it is considered advantageous if the radii of curvature of the needle end faces or needle points are so small that they can function as field emitters; Suitable needle tip diameters are between 10-25nm and 1-2 ⁇ m.
- a particularly good nestling of the object against the carrier and thus a particularly small distance between carrier and membrane-enveloped ⁇ object can be achieved if an electrode is used in which the nanotubes are nonconductive or at least less conductive than the conductive carrier.
- the electrode there is a very low contact resistance, even though the nanotubes themselves are not or only poorly conductive;
- the nanopipes in this case nevertheless contribute to the reduction of the contact resistance because they promote the nestling of the cell to the conductive carrier and thus reduce the distance between carrier and cell.
- an electrode is used in which the distance of adjacent nanodinches from each other on average (averaged over the number of nanone needles) is less than 10 ⁇ m and / or on average less than one hundred times the nanodiode diameter.
- the size refers to average sized biological cells with a diameter of 3-50 microns. For larger cells, the distance can also be increased accordingly.
- the nanowires preferably have one
- the length of the nanotubes is preferably between 100 nm and 20 microns, more preferably between 300 nm and 10 microns.
- the nanopipes can also have a coating in order to improve the contact with the object or to achieve a local assignment.
- the coating of the nanotubes with molecules can additionally improve the mechanical and electrical coupling of the membrane to the needles.
- the molecules can reach into the membrane or through it.
- the described contacting method is preferably used within the scope of a method for carrying out electrical measurements on a membrane-encased object and / or for stimulating a membrane-encased object, wherein the object is contacted as described and subsequently electrical measurement signals of the object with the electrode are measured and / or by application an electrical voltage or through electrical current a stimulation of the object is performed.
- the described methods can be used, for example, for signal-derivation - and / or for electrical stimulation, i. be used bidirectionally:
- muscle cells and / or cells of the nervous system such as neurons, neuronal networks, microglial cells, oligodendrocytes, and / or astrocytes,
- a phospholipid membrane which is not intended to be injured, such as liposomes, vesicles or more complex compartments enveloped by a single or multi-layer molecular layer (eg block copolymer membranes), or lipid protein layers (eg. Black-lipid membranes),
- e- lektrischen signals different frequencies, in particular pulsed and RF signals
- neurosensor chips for cell biological and / or basic medical research; e.g. in so-called neurosensor chips.
- the invention also relates to an electrode which is suitable for electrically contacting a membrane-encased object, in particular a biological cell (human, animal or plant cell).
- a biological cell human, animal or plant cell
- the electrode has a conductive carrier on which a large number of nano-needles is arranged and on which neighboring nanotubes have a distance from each other which is smaller than the size of the membrane-encased object, in particular smaller than a biological cell.
- the invention also relates to an arrangement with a plurality of electrodes, for example a multi-electrode array, in which a plurality of electrodes of the described type are arranged two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally, for example in an array-like manner.
- a cell may be contacted by a plurality of electrodes or multiple cells through an electrode or just one cell through an electrode. This further facilitates an individual assignment of the signals to a cell.
- a device for carrying out electrical measurements on a membrane-encased object and / or for electrically stimulating a membrane-encased object is also considered to be an invention insofar as it has one or more electrodes of the type described.

- a biological (human, animal or plant) cell 30 contacted with the electrode 10 forms focal contact points 50 with the electrode 10 via membrane protuberances 40.
- the distance between the membrane 60 of the cell 30 and the smooth electrode surface 20 is on average (approx. averaged over the membrane surface facing the electrode 10) typically greater than 40 nm.
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of an electrode 100 according to the invention.
- the nanotubes 120 form on the support a "nano-lawn" *, which has been produced for example by using nanoimprint techniques, semiconductor technology or / and by electrolytic deposition.
- the spacing between immediately adjacent nanorods is preferably smaller than the size of the cell 30.
- Focal contact points 140 between the cell 30 and the electrode 100 are formed at the needle tips 150. Due to the needle needles 120, the cell is conformed to the outer surface 130 of the carrier 110 and thus on average a smaller distance between the membrane 60 of the cell 30 and the electrode surface 20 than in the case of the electrode 10 without nanotubes according to FIG Typically, the distance between the membrane 60 of the cell 30 and the surface 130 of the carrier 110 in an electrode such as that according to FIG.
- the angular orientation of the nanotipes 120 is preferably set such that the nanopiples have similar angles ⁇ to the surface 130 of the carrier 110 in sections or in populations
- the angle deviation of the angles in one and the same section of the carrier 110 is less than 20 degrees, preferably less than 10 degrees.
- FIG. 8 shows a transmission electron micrograph of a cell 30, which is arranged on an electrode 100. It can be seen the intimate contact between the surface 130 of the carrier 110 and the membrane 60 of the cell 30th
- FIG. 3 shows by way of example with reference to five images A to E how the electrode 100 according to FIG. 2 can be produced.
- the top picture A one can see a nanoporous polymer film 200 sputtered on one side on one side and with a thin electrically conductive film
- Layer 210 is coated (see Figure B). Subsequently, a galvanic deposition of a serving as working electrode 220 layer is performed ( Figure C). During the electrodeposition, not only is deposition on the lower side 230 of the layer 210, but also on the upper side 240 on which the nanoporous polymer film 200 rests. The growth takes place through the pores 250 of the nanoporous polymer film 200, whereby the nanopipes 120 are formed (FIG. D).
- the nanoporous polymer film 200 is removed, for example by a solvent or by etching, whereby the electrode 100 is finished with the nanotubes 120 (FIG. E).

- an irregular or stochastic distribution of the nanopipes is better than a regular or symmetrical nanoneedle distribution, as shown in FIG. 6 as a further exemplary embodiment. It can be seen that the cell 30 adapts to the nanoneedle distribution, thereby achieving even better conforming to the carrier 110 and further reducing the distance between the cell 30 and the carrier 110.
