N2 - In this paper, we focus on mechanical characterization of human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC) and mesenchymal stem cell(MSC) co-cultured spheroids. HUVEC/MSC co-cultured spheroid has a characteristic that the size becomes compact with culture day increase. In order to measure the mechanical characteristics of size changing spheroids, we apply whole chip deformation mechanism to the actuation method of on-chip probes for wide range actuation. Finally, we evaluate the stiffness of spheroids by using stiffness-index.
