MANIPULATION OF MICROPARTICLES IN LOW FIELD DIELECTROPHORETIC REGIONS

摘要

The present invention includes methods, devices and systems for isolating a target biological material from a biological sample. In various aspects, the methods, devices and systems may allow for a rapid procedure that requires a minimal amount of material and/or results in isolated target biological material from complex fluids such as blood or environmental samples.

主权项

1. A method for isolating a target biological material from a sample, the method comprising:
a. applying the sample to a device, the device comprising an array of electrodes; b. creating dielectrophoretic (DEP) low-field and dielectrophoretic (DEP) high-field regions on the array; and c. selectively retaining the target biological material on the DEP low-field region.
