Background:

Increasingly observed cell heterogeneity, including antibiotic heteroresistance and cancer cell heterogeneity, necessitates advanced analytical tools.
Existing methods lack the throughput to establish genotype-phenotype correlations in dynamically changing heterogeneous cell populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a high-throughput platform for single-cell genotype-phenotype correlation analysis.
To combine single-cell viability phenotypic analysis with digital molecular detection for bacterial cells.

Main Methods:

Utilized biocompatible, fast-crosslinking polyethylene glycol hydrogel to create uniform nanoliter-sized hydrogel beads (Gelbeads).
Developed a disposable device for convenient Gelbead generation.
Established Gelbead-based assays for single-cell viability and molecular detection, including digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).

Main Results:

Demonstrated enhanced thermal stability and uncompromised efficiency for digital PCR and LAMP within Gelbeads.
Successfully performed reagent exchange for in situ PCR following viability phenotypic analyses.
The platform enables genotypic differentiation between cellular subpopulations with distinct phenotypes.

Conclusions:

The developed platform offers a novel approach to investigate the molecular mechanisms of cell heterogeneity.
This technology provides unique insights into environment-evolution interactions at the single-cell level.
The platform's potential extends to other cell types, promising advancements in medical research.
