Electroporation affects the dielectric properties of cells. Dielectric measurement techniques can provide a label-free and non-invasive modality to study this phenomenon. In this thesis we introduce a dielectrophoresis ...

An all-electrical system is developed to actuate and detect single biological cells in a microfluidic channel for diagnostic applications. Interdigitated electrodes fabricated on the channel floor transfer a high frequency ...

Fluid suspended biological particles (bioparticles) flowing through a non-uniform electric field are actuated by the induced dielectrophoretic (DEP) force, known to be dependent upon the bioparticles’ dielectric phenotypes. ...

To harness the wealth of success and computational power from the microelectronics industry, lab-on-a-chip (LOAC) applications should be fully integrated with silicon platforms. This works demonstrates a dielectrophoresis-based ...

We have employed a differential detector combined with dielectrophoretic (DEP) translation in a microfluidic channel to monitor dielectric response of single cells and particularly to track phenomenon related to apoptosis. ...

Polystyrene spheres, suspended in deionized water, flowing in a microfluidic channel are actuated using a non-uniform electric field, with the final goal of determining the dielectrophoretic (DEP) force spectra of the ...

The dielectric properties of biological cells are indicators of their physiological states. Cells dielectric properties change in response to physiological changes such as stem cell differentiation, the transition of ...
