Electrothermal flow effects in insulating (electrodeless) dielectrophoresis systems

TL;DR: Electrothermal (ET) effects perturb the EO flow field, creating vorticity near the channel constriction and enhancing the deflection and trapping effects, and in almost all cases, ET effects enhance negative dielectrophoretic particle deflected and trapping phenomena.

Microfluidic‐Based Approaches in Targeted Cell/Particle Separation Based on Physical Properties: Fundamentals and Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the most commonly used label-free microfluidic-based cell separation methods are described and the challenges and perspectives to further develop such methods are discussed, as well as computational approaches complementing such methods.

Aligning fast alternating current electroosmotic flow fields and characteristic frequencies with dielectrophoretic traps to achieve rapid bacteria detection

TL;DR: The multiscale trap, with a typical trapping time of seconds for a dilute 70 µL volume of 103 particles per cc sample, is several orders of magnitude faster than conventional DEP traps and earlier AC‐EO traps with parallel, castellated, or finger electrodes.

AC electrokinetics-enhanced capacitive immunosensor for point-of-care serodiagnosis of infectious diseases

TL;DR: The capacitive sensing method was shown to work with bovine sera to differentiate disease-positive samples from negative samples within 2 min, while conventional immunoassay would require multiple processing steps and take hours to complete.

Acute On-Chip HIV Detection Through Label-Free Electrical Sensing of Viral Nano-Lysate

TL;DR: This study demonstrated for the first time a label-free electrical sensing method that can detect lysed viruses through impedance analysis, offering an alternative technology to the antibody-based methods such as dipsticks and Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

Electromechanics of Particles

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed account of the electromechanical interactions that govern the behaviour of small particles when an electric or magnetic field is present is presented, with numerous real-world examples.

Ac electrokinetics: a review of forces in microelectrode structures

TL;DR: In this article, the frequency dependency and magnitude of electrothermally induced fluid flow are discussed for low frequencies (up to 500 kHz) and the effects of Brownian motion, diffusion and buoyancy force are discussed in the context of the controlled manipulation of sub-micrometre particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Motion and Precipitation of Suspensoids in Divergent Electric Fields

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the phenomena of dielectrophoresis and dielectro-precipitation can be observed under rather ideal conditions, though it is ordinarily often difficult to do so because of the presence of the more easily produced electrophoreis or ion-type migration of charged particles.
