资源简介:
Electrorotation measurements were used to demonstrate that the dielectric properties of the metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA231 were significantly different from those of erythrocytes and T lymphocytes. These dielectric differences were exploited to separate the cancer cells from normal blood cells by appropriately balancing the hydrodynamic and dielectrophoretic forces acting on the cells within a dielectric affinity column containing a microelectrode array. The operational criteria for successful particle separation in such a column are analyzed and our findings indicate that the dielectric affinity technique may prove useful in a wide variety of cell separation and characterization applications.
