Several biomedical analyses are performed on particular types of cells present in body
samples or using functionalized microparticles. Success in such analyses depends on the …

Dielectrophoresis, the induced motion of polarisable particles in a nonuniform electric field,
has been proven as a versatile mechanism to transport, accumulate, separate and …

This paper describes the main protocols that are used for fabricating microfluidic devices
from glass and silicon. Methods for micropatterning glass and silicon are surveyed, and their …

The development of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices over the past decade has attracted
growing interest. LOC devices aim to achieve the miniaturization, integration, automation …

As an ideal method to manipulate biological particles, the dielectrophoresis (DEP) technique
has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, disease treatment, drug development …

Rapid progress in the field of microfluidics coupled with increase in demand for cell
separation techniques for biomedical diagnostics has gained significant attention among …

We show that thermophoresis, ie, mass flow driven by thermal gradients, can be used to
drive particle motion in microfluidic devices exploiting suitable temperature control …

This review will cover the recent advances in label-free approaches to isolate and
manipulate circulating tumor cells (CTCs). In essence, label-free approaches do not rely on …

This paper presents a poly (dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS) polymer microfluidic device using
alternating current (ac) dielectrophoresis (DEP) for separating live cells from interfering …

This paper provides an overview on separation of micron and submicron sized biological
(cells, yeast, virus, bacteria, etc.) and nonbiological particles (latex, polystyrene, CNTs …
