Dielectrophoretic trapping of nanoparticles with an electrokinetic nanoprobe

TL;DR: The 3D structure of the nanoprobe enhances dielectrophoretic capture; further, electro‐hydrodynamic flow enhances trapping, increasing the effective trapping region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particle Manipulation by Miniaturised Dielectrophoretic Devices

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of dielectrophoresis (DEP) devices is presented, which provide an effective way to manipulate and separate micro- or nano-bioparticles automatically and quickly by polarisation effects in a nonuniform electric field.
Journal ArticleDOI

The study of spermatozoa and sorting in relation to human reproduction

TL;DR: This review article seeks to provide a link between the understanding of the spermatozoa on the physical aspects and applications involving assisted reproduction, so that future research in this field can be better poised for improving current procedures.

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.
