Cell sorting in microfluidic systems using dielectrophoresis

摘要

Due to the rising requirement of accuracy and convenience in micro-size bio-chips, dielectrophoresis (DEP) has gained its popularity in research in the last decade for it could be utilized in various applications, such as trapping, sorting, and manipulation of micro- or nano- particles. Sorting cells using DEP is especially what researchers are fond of. Here, we proposed a design of bio-chip, which is able to encapsulate particles in droplets and sort them in one step.
