Research Abstract |
The Bottle neck Fork-Trace (BF) electrode which can transport and separate all blood cells in chamber have been developed for early detection of leukemia.The BF electrode is possible to transport all particles from the entire chamber to the electrode gap by Traveling-wave electric fields at first, and then separate them by dielectrophoresis. Leukocytes in medium were separated from erythrocytes by using the electrode. The dielctrophoretic characteristics of leukemia cells (HL-60, BALL-1) were measured, and the leukemia cells were separated form normal leukocytes by difference in dielectric property.
