Combination of AC electrothermal and Dielectrophoresis realized by 3D Electrodes to Concentrate Particles
Download2022-06-01
Fathy, Jino, Wang, Ziying, Lai, Yongjun
In this paper, a particle microconcentrator is designed and simulated that works by combining the AC electrothermal (ACET) and Dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces. The microconcentrator consists of a PMMA channel with copper electrodes on the walls and bottom of the channel. On each side of the...
