Focusing and sorting cells and particles utilizing microfluidic phenomena have been
flourishing areas of development in recent years. These processes are largely beneficial in …

Focusing particles (both biological and synthetic) into a tight stream is usually a necessary
step prior to counting, detecting, and sorting them. The various particle focusing approaches …

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 …

Abstract Insulator‐based dielectrophoresis (iDEP), also known as electrodeless DEP, has
become a well‐known dielectrophoretic technique, no longer viewed as a new …

Microfluidic devices have been extensively used to achieve precise transport and placement
of a variety of particles for numerous applications. A range of force fields have thus far been …

This article reviews existing methods for the isolation, fractionation, or capture of rare cells in
microfluidic devices. Rare cell capture devices face the challenge of maintaining the …

The rare presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream has made their
recording and separation one of the major challenges in the recent decade. Inertia-based …

Separating live and dead cells is critical to the diagnosis of early stage diseases and to the
efficacy test of drug screening, etc. This work demonstrates a novel microfluidic approach to …

Dielectrophoresis is a non‐destructive, label‐free method to manipulate and separate (bio‐)
particles and macromolecules. The mechanism is based on the movement of polarizable …

In this work, we demonstrate an integrated, single-layer, miniature flow cytometry device that
is capable of multi-parametric particle analysis. The device integrates both particle focusing …
