Cell adhesion plays a fundamental role in numerous physiological and pathological processes, and measurements of the adhesion strength are important in fields ranging from basic cell biology research to the development of implantable biomaterials. Our group and others have recently demonstrated that microfluidic devices offer advantages for characterizing the adhesion of cells to protein-coated surfaces [1,2]. Microfluidic devices offer many advantages over conventional assays, including the ability to apply high shear stresses in the laminar regime and the opportunity to directly observe cell behavior during testing. However, a key disadvantage is that such assays require cells to be cultured inside closed microchannels. Assays based on closed channels restrict the types of surfaces that can be examined and are not compatible with many standard techniques in cell biology research. Furthermore, while techniques for cell culture in microchannels have become common, maintaining the viability of certain types of cells in channels remains a challenge.

Regulating cell-substrate adhesion is of fundamental importance in biomaterial design and development. While an increasing number of approaches are being developed to quantify cell adhesion strength, only a fraction of these techniques provide measurements that are simple and sensitive at the living cell population level. In our previous study, the expression of adhesion-associated proteins in fibroblasts was found to change on ion-implanted silicone rubber; however, the actual effects of the modified surfaces on cellular mechanical properties remain to be probed. Here, we proposed a convenient method to compare the cell adhesion strength on various surfaces, for multiple adhesion periods and with different cell types. This method requires only common laboratory equipment. In addition, we introduced a new parameter, ECS50, which is appropriate for screening optimum centrifugal conditions when the cell affinity of the surface as a control is initially unknown. This parameter is helpful for further exploration of cell affinity on all the biomaterials of interest. The results demonstrate that this centrifugation assay is simple, efficient and adaptable in investigating the overall adhesion strength of living cells under various conditions, and therefore, it is a valid way to develop adhesion-controlled biointerface materials in the future.
