In the last seven years, optoelectronic tweezers using optically-induced dielectrophoretic (ODEP) force have been explored experimentally with much success in manipulating micro/nano objects. However, not much has been done in terms of in-depth under...
The precise control method plays a crucial role in improving the accuracy and efficiency of the micromanipulation of optically induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP). However, the unmeasurable nature of the ODEP force is a great challenge for the precise a...
Optically-induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP) has been extensively used for the manipulation and separation of cells, beads and micro-droplets in microfluidic devices. With this approach, non-uniform electric fields induced by light projected on a photo...
An optimization study is presented to enhance optical dielectrophoretic (ODEP) performance for effective manipulation of an oil-immersed droplet in the floating electrode optoelectronic tweezers (FEOET) device. This study focuses on understanding how...
In biomedical diagnosis, the efficient separation and purification of specific targets from clinical samples is the desired first step. Herein, the concept of virtual filter membranes based on optically-induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP) manipulation i...
Magnetic beads improve biosensing performance by means of their small volume and controllability by magnetic force. In this study, a new technique composed of optically induced dielectrodphoresis (ODEP) manipulation and image processing was used to e...
Non-contact positioning of micro-objects using electric fields has been widely explored, based on several physical principles such as electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis (DEP) or optical dielectrophoresis (ODEP), in which the actuation force is induce...
