| Research Abstract |
In this study, dielectrophoresis-based cell patterning was developed for cell culture chip. Electrodes were designed and electric field simulations were performed to manipulate bioparticles toward target areas. Based on the simulation results, several kinds of devices were fabricated for the formation of localized and non-uniform electric fields. When an appropriate AC voltage was applied to the electrode, array patterns of microparticles such as polystyrene beads, yeasts and cells were rapidly fabricated on the target substrate with ease. The results suggest that the devices can be widely applied for tissue engineering and drug screening.
