Dielectrophoresis Based Micro Flow Cytometry.

چکیده
We report a simplified flow cytometer design that makes use of negative dielectrophoresis (DEP) for particle focusing and integrated optical and AC impedance detectors to enable an inexpensive, compact and robust system for cell and particle characterization. This straightforward, modular design could be applied as a standalone instrument or as a particle detector in an integrated micro total analysis system.

Assessment of multidrug resistance reversal using dielectrophoresis and flow cytometry.
In cancer, multidrug resistance (MDR) is the simultaneous resistance of tumor cells to different natural product anticancer drugs that have no common structure. This is an impediment to the successful treatment of many human cancers. A common correlate of MDR is the overexpression of a membrane protein, P-glycoprotein. Many studies have shown that MDR can be reversed after the use of substrate ...

متن کاملProbing Contaminant-Induced Alterations in Chlorophyll Fluorescence by AC-Dielectrophoresis-Based 2D-Algal Array
The investigation of contaminant impact on algae requires rapid and reliable cell collection and optical detection. The capability of alternative current (AC) dielectrophoresis (DEP) collection of whole cell arrays with combined fluorescence microscopy detection to follow the alterations of chlorophyll fluorescence during environmental contaminant exposure was explored. The application of an AC...
متن کاملFlow cytometry for microbial sensing in environmental sustainability applications: current status and future prospects.
Practical and accurate microbial assessment of environmental systems is predicated on the detection and quantification of various microbial parameters in complex matrices. Traditional growth-based assays, considered to be both slow and biased, are increasingly being replaced by optical detection methods such as flow cytometry. Flow cytometry (FCM) offers high-speed multi-parametric data acquisi...
متن کاملDielectrophoresis (DEP) Based Microfluidic Particle Separator
This report introduces a microfluidic system for manipulation and separation of micron-sized particles based on the combined use of negative dielectrophoresis (DEP) and hydrodynamic forces. A 2-D micro-electrode structure has been constructed on the bottom surface on glass wafer and driven with high-frequency AC voltage to generate dielectrophoretic gates. Depending on the relative strengths of...
