DIELECTROPHORESIS BASED MICRO FLOW CYTOMETRY

摘要

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.
