Abstract

The present design introduces an optimized version of a microfluidics chip that uses dielectrophoresis phenomenon as a method of separation of the abnormal cells from the blood stream. Negative and positive dielectrophoretic forces (DEP) generated by a non-uniform electric field are engaged to separate the normal blood cells from the malignant ones. By fine tuning the parameters of the electric field different types of abnormal cells are isolated.
