Abstract
An apparatus and method of use is provided for the fusion of different cell types into hybrid cells through the use of electrofusion. The apparatus consists of thin-film electrodes etched onto an optically clear lower plate, a channel defined at its boundaries by a photocopolymer material laminated between the lower plate and an upper optically clear top plate providing closure of the channel as well as entry for the cells through the use of integral Luer ports. The apparatus may be produced, with minor adjustment, by using phototools.
