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.
