Microfluidic Pumping based on Traveling-Wave Dielectrophoresis
This paper presents a microfluidic pumping approach using traveling-wave dielectrophoresis (twDEP) of microparticles. With this approach, the flow is generated directly in the microfluidic devices by inducing strong electromechanical effects in the fluid using integrated microelectrodes. The fluidic driving mechanisms due to the particle-fluid and particle-particle interactions under twDEP are ...
متن کاملA continuous high-throughput bioparticle sorter based on 3D traveling-wave dielectrophoresis.
We present a high throughput (maximum flow rate approximately 10 microl/min or linear velocity approximately 3 mm/s) continuous bio-particle sorter based on 3D traveling-wave dielectrophoresis (twDEP) at an optimum AC frequency of 500 kHz. The high throughput sorting is achieved with a sustained twDEP particle force normal to the continuous through-flow, which is applied over the entire chip by...
متن کاملTraveling-wave electrophoresis for microfluidic separations.
Models and microfluidic experiments are presented of an electrophoretic separation technique in which charged particles whose mobilities exceed a tunable threshold are trapped between the crests of a longitudinal electric wave traveling through a stationary viscous fluid. The wave is created by applying periodic potentials to electrode arrays above and below a microchannel. Predicted average ve...
متن کاملTitanium-based dielectrophoresis devices for microfluidic applications.
To date, materials selection in microfluidics has been restricted to conventional micromechanical materials systems such as silicon, glass, and various polymers. Metallic materials offer a number of potential advantages for microfluidic applications, including high fracture toughness, thermal stability, and solvent resistance. However, their exploitation in such applications has been limited. I...
متن کاملDielectrophoresis (DEP) Based Microfluidic Particle Separator
This report introduces a microfluidic system for manipulation and separation of micron-sized particles based on the combined use of negative dielectrophoresis (DEP) and hydrodynamic forces. A 2-D micro-electrode structure has been constructed on the bottom surface on glass wafer and driven with high-frequency AC voltage to generate dielectrophoretic gates. Depending on the relative strengths of...
