Negative DEP traps for single cell immobilisation.
We present a novel design of micron-sized particle trap that uses negative dielectrophoresis (nDEP) to trap cells in high conductivity physiological media. The design is scalable and suitable for trapping large numbers of single cells. Each trap has one electrical connection and the design can be extended to produce a large array. The trap consists of a metal ring electrode and a surrounding gr...
متن کاملNegative impact of DEP exposure on human airway epithelial cell adhesion, stiffness, and repair.
Epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) may be associated with increased respiratory mortality and morbidity. Several recent studies have also shown that DEPs increase the production of inflammatory cytokines by human bronchial epithelium (HBE) cells in vitro. The present study investigates the effects of DEPs on the interaction of l-HBE cells (16HB...
متن کاملNumerical Model of Streaming DEP for Stem Cell Sorting
Neural stem cells are of special interest due to their potential in neurogenesis to treat spinal cord injuries and other nervous disorders. Flow cytometry, a common technique used for cell sorting, is limited due to the lack of antigens and labels that are specific enough to stem cells of interest. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a label-free separation technique that has been recently demonstrated ...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic traps for single-particle patterning.
We present a novel microfabricated dielectrophoretic trap designed to pattern large arrays of single cells. Because flowing away untrapped cells is often the rate-limiting step during cell patterning, we designed the trap to be strong enough to hold particles against practical flow rates. We experimentally validated the trap strength by measuring the maximum flow rate that polystyrene beads cou...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic Traps for Cell Manipulation
One of the goals of biology for the next fifty years is to understand how cells work. This fundamentally requires a diverse set of approaches for performing measurements on cells in order to extract information from them. Manipulating the physical location and organization of cells or other biologically important particles is an important part in this endeavor. Apart from the fact that cell fun...
