Cell mechanics is a discipline that bridges cell biology with mechanics. Emerging microscale technologies are opening new venues in the field, due to their costeffectiveness, relatively easy fabrication, and high throughput. Two examples of those technologies are discussed here: microfluidic impedance cytometry and erythrocyte electrodeformation. The former is a lab-on-chip technology offering a simple, non-invasive, label-free method for counting, identifying and monitoring cellular biophysical and mechanical function at the single-cell level. The latter is a useful complement to the former, enabling cell deformation under the influence of an applied electric field.
