Manipulation and trapping of sub-micron bioparticles using dielectrophoresis.
A non-uniform alternating electric field induces motion in polarisable particles called dielectrophoresis. The effect is governed by the relative magnitudes of the dielectric properties of the medium and the particles. The technology has been used to manipulate particles for biotechnological applications, including purification, fractionation and concentration of cells and microorganisms. Howev...
متن کاملNanoporous elements in microfluidics for multiscale manipulation of bioparticles.
Solid materials, such as silicon, glass, and polymers, dominate as structural elements in microsystems including microfluidics. Porous elements have been limited to membranes sandwiched between microchannel layers or polymer monoliths. This paper reports the use of micropatterned carbon-nanotube forests confined inside microfluidic channels for mechanically and/or chemically capturing particles...
متن کاملElectrostatic confinement and manipulation of DNA molecules for genome analysis
Very large DNA molecules enable comprehensive analysis of complex genomes, such as human, cancer, and plants because they span across sequence repeats and complex somatic events. When physically manipulated, or analyzed as single molecules, long polyelectrolytes are problematic because of mechanical considerations that include shear-mediated breakage, dealing with the massive size of these coil...
متن کاملSeparation of submicron bioparticles by dielectrophoresis.
Submicron particles such as latex spheres and viruses can be manipulated and characterized using dielectrophoresis. By the use of appropriate microelectrode arrays, particles can be trapped or moved between regions of high or low electric fields. The magnitude and direction of the dielectrophoretic force on the particle depends on its dielectric properties, so that a heterogeneous mixture of pa...
متن کاملMucosal vaccination against tuberculosis using inert bioparticles.
Needle-free, mucosal immunization is a highly desirable strategy for vaccination against many pathogens, especially those entering through the respiratory mucosa, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Unfortunately, mucosal vaccination against tuberculosis (TB) is impeded by a lack of suitable adjuvants and/or delivery platforms that could induce a protective immune response in humans. Here, we r...
