Traditional intracellular delivery methods suffer from cargo inefficiencies, non-linear delivery kinetics, and cellular trauma. We designed a mechanically-mediated poration platform governed by deterministic, passive diffusion operating at low pressure which enables dose-dependent, cargo-agnostic intracellular delivery and preserves cellular homeostasis; key advantages include high-fidelity multiplexing, transient cell engineering, and direct-to-biology live-cell target engagement enabling development of novel intracellular delivery applications across drug discovery and cell therapy. We demonstrate examples including live-cell DEL discovery and MOA studies, complex and rapid cell therapy manufacturing, and assay development in sensitive primary cell types.
