    Abstract

    In this thesis, the results of the development of two microfluidic devices (static and high-throughput) for efficient electrofucion of cells were described and evaulated. Electrofusion of cells is an important tool for generating antibody producing hybridomas. The hybridomas are the result of the fusion between a B-cell and and a myeloma cell. The conventional method for generting hybridomas has a very low efficiency (typically around 0.001%). In combination with the increasing need for antibodies, this has motivated us to explore a more efficient method for generating hybridomas. In our opinion, microfluidic chips offer several advantages compared tot the conventional systems
