Dielectrophoretic assembly and separation of particles and cells in continuous flow

Abstract

Dielectrophoretic (DEP) separation has been recognized as a practical tool in the separation of cells and particles for clinical diagnosis, pharmaceutical industry and environmental monitoring. Assembly of particles and cells...

Dielectrophoretic characterization and selection of non-spherical flagellate algae in parallel channels with right-angle bipolar electrodes

“…On the other hand, it might lead leaving kinds of flagellate algae to be captured and lowered the isolated cell quantity due to the electric field extension effect. 52…”

Microfluidic impedance cytometry with flat-end cylindrical electrodes for accurate and fast analysis of marine microalgae

“…With the rapid development of microfabrication and microfluidic techniques, various microfluidic impedance cytometers have been investigated to accomplish the detection of cells and particles to address important issues in the fields of chemistry, biology, food, medicine and environmental monitoring. 32–36 Based on the structure of electrodes, microfluidic impedance cytometers can be roughly divided into three types, including two-dimensional, three-dimensional and liquid electrode configurations. 29 Although the microfluidic impedance cytometer with two-dimensional electrodes can discover the structural and electrical characteristics of stem cells and cancer cells for disease diagnosis and drug screening, 37 the distribution of an uneven electric field at the channel height has a negative effect on the detection of microalgal impedance.…”
