N2 - We propose the portable pipette-shaped microfluidic chip for time-lapse mechanical characterization of oocyte. In the chip, on-chip pump and measurement device are integrated. The onchip pump enables us to aspirate and keep a target oocyte in the chip without using a conventional microfluidic pump. Therefore, we can carry the oocyte-containing chip between a commercially available incubator and a microscope and measure the mechanical characteristics of the target oocyte as time-lapse evaluation. In this study, we represent the concept, the fabrication processes of the chip, and also show the result of mechanical characterization of oocyte.
