TL;DR: A microfluidic device that is able to simultaneously characterize the mechanical and electrical properties of individual biological cells in a high-throughput manner is developed, providing better differentiation of cellular phenotypes, which are not easily discernible via single-marker analysis.

TL;DR: A differential multiconstriction microfluidic device with self-aligned 3D electrodes to simultaneously characterize the deformability, electrical impedance and relaxation index of single cells at a high throughput manner and demonstrates the ability of the system to distinguish different cell populations purely based on these biophysical properties.

TL;DR: A simple, inexpensive and portable image-based cytometer that detects and numerically counts Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells (iRBCs) from Giemsa-stained smears derived from infected blood and is able to classify all parasitic subpopulations with high specificity, sensitivity and negligible false positives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate an approach using both electrical and acoustic forces to manipulate bioparticles and submicrometer particles for deterministic sorting, where they find that concurrent application of dielectrophoretic (DEP) and acoustophoretic forces decreases the critical diameter at which particles can be separated.

TL;DR: An N-shaped electrode-based microfluidic impedance cytometry device for the measurement of the lateral position of single cells and particles in continuous flows and the position monitoring of sheath flow-induced particle focusing, which is in quantitative agreement with the results by imaging quantification.
