Abstract
A device is presented which allows precise measurement and control of single cells using electrical means in a flow-through microchannel. The manipulation is based on the negative dielectrophoresis principle and the measurement is done by impedance spectroscopy. New results show the improvements obtained from cell pre-focussing on the measurement reproducibility as well as a fast sorting geometry. An application of the device to the discrimination of leukocytes sub-populations has been demonstrated.
