Abstract: Cells are fundamental unit of life and cell analysis has made significant contribution to the researches of the structure and function of cells; the discovery of the mystery of life; the diagnosis and treatment of diseases; the screening and design of new drugs. Micro total analysis systems have played an increasingly important role in cell studies because of their advantages including low reagent and power consumption， short reaction time， portability for in situ use， low cost， versatility in design， and potentials for parallel operation and for integration with other miniaturized devices. In this article， the applications of microfluidic chip systems on cell manipulation， cell culture and cell analysis are reviewed.
