This study extends the half-space model by accounting for the influence of cell geometry and compressibility(sphere model). Using a finite element analysis of cell aspiration into a micropipette, an elastic approximation formula of the aspirated length was derived for the sphere model. The approximation formula includes the geometry parameter of the sphere model(ζ = R/a, R is the radius of the cell, and a is the inner radius of the micropipette) and the Poisson's ratio v of the cell. The results indicate that the parameter and Poisson's ratio v markedly affect the aspirated length, particularly for small and v. When ζ→∞ and v→0.5,the approximation formula tends to the analytical solution for the half-space model. In the incompressible case(v = 0.5), within the general experimental range(ζ varying from 2 to 4), the difference between the analytical solution and the approximate one is significant, and is up to 29% of the approximation solution when ζ= 2. Additionally, parametere was introduced to evaluate the error of elastic moduli between the half-space model and sphere model. Based on the approximation formula, the ζ thresholds, beyond which e becomes larger than 10% and 20%, were derived.展开更多

In this papert we shall revisit the same problem from a different angle. We shall first turnthe problem into a conditional probability and then apply a Lugannani-Rice type formula to it,which was developed by Skovagard[8] for the mean of i.i.d. samples and by Jing and Robinson[5]for smooth function of vector means. Both the Lugannani-Rice type formula and Robinson'sformula achieve the same relative error of order O(n-3/2), but the former is very compact andmuch easier to use in practice. Some numerical results will be presented to compare the twoformulas.展开更多
