[摘要]:This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a polymer microfluidic biochip with integrated interdigitated electrodes arrays (IDAs) used to simultaneously separate, manipulate, and detect microparticles using dielectrophoresis (DEP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The DEP response of silica microspheres has been characterized, and microspheres of different sizes (1.8 and 3.5 mu m in diameter) have been DEP flow separated and individually trapped in different microchambers by IDAs in a single run. Simultaneously, the impedance change caused by microspheres captured on WAS has been analyzed for quantification. High-throughput polymer microfabrication techniques such as micro injection molding were used in this work, so that the polymer microfluidic chip can be produced in a low-cost, disposable platform. This low-cost microfluidic chip provides a generic platform for developing multifunctional lab-on-a-chip devices that require the ability to handle and sense microparticles. |
