MICRODEVICE FOR CELL AND PARTICLE SEPARATION USING DIELECTROPHORETIC FIELD-FLOW FRACTIONATION

Abstract

We describe the use of a micro system for dielectrophoretic field flow fractionation (DFFF) of particles and cells. Micro-objects are separated on the basis of differences in size and/or passive dielectric properties, respectively. Bow-like strip electrode pairs have been proven to be the most effective separation systems.
