The possibility of application of the novel class of tubular needles for piercing cells and injecting biological material inside the cell is considered. Stability calculations of tubular (multiwall) needles were made. Calculations were made for the needles with walls formed from hybrid graphene-semiconductor or graphene structures and spires shaped as trapeziform open cylindrical shells. The possibility of mass fabrication of such needles and chips for AFM significantly broadens the range of available operations on the surface and inside the living cell and opens prospects of effective high-precision manipulations with individual cells.
