TL;DR: It is revealed that fixed-potential ICEO exceeding RC charging frequency can adjust the particle trapping position flexibly by generating controllable symmetry breaking in a vortex flow pattern.

TL;DR: A hybrid method for microparticle separation based on a delicate combination of ICEO focusing and dielectrophoretic deflection is proposed and designed and fabricated a microfluidic chip and separated a mixture consisting of yeast cells and silica particles with an efficiency exceeding 96%.

TL;DR: The integration of parallel sorting and single trapping stages within a microfluidic chip enables the prospect of high-throughput cell separation, single trapping, and large-scale cell locomotion and rotation in a noninvasive and disposable format, showing great potential in single-cell analysis, targeted drug delivery, and surgery.

TL;DR: A rapid, targeted and culture-free infectivity assay using high-throughput drop-based microfluidics that promises to be a superior method for drug screening and isolation of resistant viral strains and can be adapted to measuring the infectivity of other pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi.

TL;DR: A novel AC electrothermal (ACET) fluidic circulatory pumping chip to overcome the challenge of fluid-to-tissue ratio for "human-on-a-chip" cell culture systems and has great potential for cell culture and tissue engineering applications.
