Electrode array for vortex-assisted electroporation

摘要

A device includes a microfluidic trap disposed along a microfluidic channel, the trap and channel having dimensions to create a fluid vortex within the trap to trap a particle of interest and an electrode having interdigitated electrically isolated fingers positioned in the trap to create an electric field across the trap such that the electric field causes electroporation of a molecule into the particle of interest. A further device includes an array of channels, traps and interdigitated electrically isolated fingers.
