Measuring rheological properties of cells in monolayers enables quantifying average cell properties in single experimental runs despite large cell-to-cell variations. Here, we describe how to modify a commercial rotational rheometer to accomplish the necessary precision for a monolayer rheometer and we delineate the steps for setting up experiments detecting average viscoelastic cell properties.
