Abstract

The design and fabrication of a dielectrophoretic 'lab-on-a-chip' device for bioparticle processing and counting is presented. The device consists of a multi-layer travelling wave dielectrophoretic electrode array for manipulating particles and/or fluids, microchannels for delivering samples and optical fibres for counting particles and/or measuring their velocities. Single particles were detected optically using either light scattering or fluorescence emission. The technology described in this study is potentially applicable to a range of particulate diagnostic systems.
