Abstract

We report a dielectrophoresis (DEP) enabled micro-electro-fluidic probe (MeFP) for sequential sorting and patterning of mammalian cells in an open microfluidic system. The MeFP consists of a 3D printed microfluidic probe (MFP) with an array of conductive micro-humps on its tip. Aligning the MeFP in parallel with an indium tin oxide (ITO) coated substrate forms a pin-plate electrode configuration that allows for an integration of DEP forces within the hydrodynamic flow confinement (HFC). Using this setup, target cells are selectively isolated on the micro-hump electrodes and then deposited on the substrate in predefined and controllable micro-patterns.
