Testing of insulator-based microfluidic devices for microparticle manipulation.
The research project consists of demonstrating that electrokinetic
particle manipulation is possible on several different fabricated
insulator-based microfluidic channels. The purpose of this project is to assess
the capacity of different microfluidic channel designs for microparticle capture
under flow conditions for their future use in bioseparations applications (e.g.,
circulating tumor cells, exosomes, liposomes, etc.).
