Abstract
Provided is a cell chip for exposing to a portion of each of cells microdroplets dispensed with an inkjet printer or the like in a screening test of the effect of a substance on cells by using an apparatus for introducing the substance into cells including: a cell-immobilizing support including a substrate having through-holes penetrating from one side to the other side of the substrate and including cells immobilized in the through-holes so as to block up the through-holes; a liquid phase region present in contact with one side of the support and including a medium of the cells; and a mechanism present so as to face the other side of the support and imparting a microdroplet to a portion of each of the cells exposed in the openings on the other side.
