3.6. ICEK-based particle manipulation
Particle manipulation is an urging demand in biology and analytical chemistry (Haghighi, Talebpour, & Nezhad, 2018; Hassanpour‐Tamrin et al., 2017; Khetani, Mohammadi, & Nezhad, 2018). Among various active and passive methods used for particle manipulation within microfluidics, the micro-vortices induced around conducting surfaces have attracted the attention for particle/cell manipulation. Here, we categorize particle manipulation into particle/cell focusing, trapping, and sorting.
