Abstract

We present the first known implementation of a passive,\nscalable architecture for trapping, imaging, and sorting\nindividual microparticles, including cells, using a positive\ndielectrophoretic (p-DEP) trapping array. Our array-based\ntechnology enables “active coverslips” where, when scaled,\nmany individually held cells can be sorted based upon\nimaged spatial or temporally variant characteristics. Our\ndesign incorporates a unique “ring-dot” p-DEP trap\ngeometry organized in a row/column array format. This\ntrap design, implemented in a two-level metal process,\nprovides strong and highly spatially localized holding\nfields enabling single-cell capture for all traps in the array.\nWe release individual trapped microparticles during sorting using a passive transistor-independent approach\nwhere we electrically ground the row and column electrodes associated with specific traps in the array. The\ndemand for chip-to-world electrical connections in our\narrays scales proportionally with the square root of the\nnumber of traps in a given array, delivering a substantial\nimprovement over prior designs. We demonstrate capture, holding, and release operations with both beads and\ncells in small arrays of this new architecture.
