Microtransponders, the miniature RFID electronic chips, as platforms for cell growth in cytotoxicity assays

Abstract

The MTP-based system holds promise for the multiplexed cell assays in which numerous different cell lines can be screened for their growth rate or sensitivity while exposed to particular agents in the same vessel. Other advantages of the system are the rapidity of the screening and a very large number of ID codes. Because many cell lines/types can be assayed in a single dish, the system also offers cost savings on tissue culture reagents.
