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

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 …

This paper presents development of a parylene membrane microfilter device for single stage
capture and electrolysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in human blood, and the potential …

Dielectrophoretic (DEP) force is exerted when a neutral particle is polarized in a non-uniform
electric field, and depends on the dielectric properties of the particle and the suspending …

Electroporation is a simple yet powerful technique for breaching the cell membrane barrier.
The applications of electroporation can be generally divided into two categories: the release …

The field of micro total analysis systems (μTAS), or “lab on a chip”, has continued to gain
maturity. The importance of μTAS is reflected in both the growing number and the improved …

Cell lysis is a process in which the outer cell membrane is broken to release intracellular
constituents in a way that important information about the DNA or RNA of an organism can …

Ultrasonic surface acoustic wave (SAW)-induced acoustic streaming flow (ASF) has been
utilized for microfluidic flow control, patterning, and mixing. Most previous research …

This paper provides an overview of the electrokinetic phenomena associated with particles
and cells in microchannel systems. The most important phenomena covered include …

The global burden of foodborne diseases is substantial and foodborne pathogens are the
major cause for human illnesses. In order to prevent the spread of foodborne pathogens …
