Single-cell analysis by microfluidic techniques.

Approaches technique	Pros	Cons	Applications
Electrorotation	Quantify intrinsic electrical properties of cells	(i) Low throughput; (ii) Low conductivity	Monitor parasite and cell separation
Impedance flow cytometry	High throughput	Low specificity	Cell sorting, cell counting, cell impedance
Microelectrical impedance spectroscopy	Characterizing ion channel activity	Low throughput	Cancer cell screening, toxin detection
