Microfluidic Device for Continuous Dielectrophoretic Separation of Cells in Division
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on a novel method for on-chip continuous separation of dividing and non-dividing cells based on differences in their dielectric properties. By means of two opposite dielectrophoretic force fields at multiple frequencies, the two populations of cells flowing through the microfluidic device are focused towards distinct equilibrium positions, which can be correlated to their cell cycle.

Dielectrophoretic Characterization of Colloidal Particles Using Angled Microelectrode Arrays
This paper will present a characterization of a microfluidic device with embedded angled microelectrode arrays for the continuous flow-through dielectrophoretic separation of particles. The operation of the device is demonstrated using samples of colloidal latex spheres, achieving 100% particle deflection with low operating voltage of 10V. This characterization is essential for dielectrophoreti...

متن کاملDielectrophoretic separation of platelets from diluted whole blood in microfluidic channels.
The dielectrophoresis (DEP) phenomenon is used to separate platelets directly from diluted whole blood in microfluidic channels. By exploiting the fact that platelets are the smallest cell type in blood, we utilize the DEP-activated cell sorter (DACS) device to perform size-based fractionation of blood samples and continuously enrich the platelets in a label-free manner. Cytometry analysis reve...
