Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are methods and devices for applying two or more mobilization fields in a microchannel using a multifunctional structure and manipulating particles and fluids based on more than one characteristic. Specifically, a fluidic channel comprising at least one metal structure having a coat comprising a conductive material, an insulative material, a semi-conductive material, or a combination thereof, is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for manipulating or assaying a particle in a sample which comprises subjecting the sample to a fluidic channel comprising at least one metal structure having a coat comprising a conductive material, an insulative material, a semi-conductive material, or a combination thereof and inducing at least one mobilization field such as a magnetic field, an electroosmotic field, an insulative dielectrophoresis (iDEP) field, which iDEP field may be an iDEP trapping field or an iDEP streaming field, or a combination thereof.
