Strong microfluidic vortices are generated when a near-infrared (1,064 nm) laser beam is
focused within a microchannel and an alternating current (AC) electric field is …

We propose the use of negative dielectrophoresis (DEP) spectroscopy as a technique to
improve the detection limit of rare analytes in biological samples. We observe a significant …

Pathological processes often change the mechanical properties of cells. Increased rigidity
could be a marker of cellular malfunction. Erythrocytes are a type of cell that deforms to …

Liposomes are well-known cell simulators and are currently studied as drug delivery
systems, for a targeted delivery of higher drug concentrations, in specific cells. Novel …

Herein, charged microbeads handled with optical tweezers are used as a sensitive probe for
simultaneous measurements of electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces. We first …

Optical tweezers were used for quantitative measurement of the absolute dielectrophoresis
(DEP) forces acting on polystyrene microparticles. The electrodes and tweezers were …

Interference fringes provide the means for simultaneous, multiple–micromanipulation, of
particles. In biomedical investigations, multiple interference optical trapping gives the …

Liposomes have been actively studied as models of cell membranes and are currently used
as drug delivery systems of bioactive molecules. Liposome transformations that mimic …

In recent years, lasers for optical trapping and micromanipulation of microscopic particles or
cells and subcellular structures, both in vivo and in vitro, have gained remarkable interest in …

With the growing number of new biomarkers discovered for clinic diagnosis, there is an
emerging need for the development of biosensing device. One important application of the …
