N2 - We present a high-throughput and single-step inertial microfluidic cell hydroporator (iMCH) capable of delivering diverse molecules to various cell types with a throughput of >30,000 cells/sec. Our approach is comprised of three sequential processes: (1) Cell injection, where cell suspensions with macromolecules are injected into a microchannel, (2) Inertial cell positioning, where randomly incoming cells are aligned via fluid inertia, and (3) Molecule delivery, where cells deform with large strain upon collision at a T-junction, and the rapid mechanical deformation of cells creates transient membrane openings that facilitate diffusion of molecules into the cytosol.
