PROGRAMMABLE DIELECTROPHORETIC μTAS SAMPLE HANDLING

Micro Total Anal Syst. 2003:919-922.

Abstract

We present the concept of a general-purpose sample analysis platform (GSAP) based on dielectrophoretic methods. The platform architecture comprises integrated functional blocks that can be programmed to perform a diverse range of analysis steps, including the on-device preparation of real world samples.

Keywords: dielectrophoresis; molecular analysis; programmable microdiagnostic instruments; sample preparation.
