Bio Micro Solutions Newsletter - July 25, 2007 Particle Sorting Demonstrated in a Custom Flowcell with Integrated Electrodes Complex, laser-patterned electrode pair sandwiches ALine's custom flowcell, supporting successful Phase I SBIR for CFD Research Corporation (CFDRC) Intelligent discrimination of target particles of interest from a complex liquid matrix is of critical interest in biodefense and homeland security applications. A
miniaturized system for dielectrophoresis (DEP) based particle and cell sorting is
being developed by CFD Research Corporation (CFDRC), Huntsville, AL.
Important for the realization of miniaturized and multiplexed systems is the
requirement for laminar flow and the movement of particles/cells in response to
an electric field. Such a system requires the use of micron-sized flow channels
with a very small electrode gap (10 – 50 microns) to obtain the electric field
strengths necessary to effect particle sorting at nominal values of the applied
voltage.
Products & Services
Flow cytometers use laser beams to characterize single cells as they pass by at high speed.
EDM electrode materials and components consist of highly conductivity and/or arc erosion resistant materials such as graphite, copper or copper graphite.
Clean benches are designed to protect biological specimens by bathing the work area with air that is free of particulate contamination.
Particle size analyzers and particle count analyzers are used to determine the physical makeup of samples.
Radiation detectors are used for medical diagnoses, radioactive dating measurements, and measurements of background radiation, activity levels and radiation doses.
