The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute
solution of point-like ions in quasi-equilibrium with a weakly charged surface, whose …

Micropum** has emerged as a critical research area for many electronics and biological
applications. A significant driving force underlying this research has been the integration of …

Electroosmotic pum** is receiving increasing attention in recent years owing to the rapid
development in micro total analytical systems. Compared with other micropumps …

Pum** of fluids with precise control is one of the key components in a microfluidic device.
The electric field has been used as one of the most popular and efficient nonmechanical …

We study the response of a model microelectrochemical cell to a large ac voltage of
frequency comparable to the inverse cell relaxation time. To bring out the basic physics, we …

This paper presents a dielectrophoretic system for the immobilization and separation of live
and dead cells. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a promising and efficient investigation technique …

We establish experimentally the flow patterns of induced-charge electro-osmosis around
immobilized metallic spheres in aqueous electrolyte. The ac field modifies local electrolyte …

We derive a generalized induced-charge electrokinetic (ICEK) velocity around a conducting
object placed in an arbitrary multimodal electric field. The generalized model allows …

Lab-on-chip systems (LOCs) can be used as in vitro systems for cell culture or manipulation
in order to analyze or monitor physiological cell parameters. LOCs may combine microfluidic …

Electric curtain consisting of a series of parallel electrodes and powered by a polyphase
voltage has been extensively used for transporting and/or separating micronized insulating …
