Abstract :
To date, research and development to detect the leukemia is proceeding by using the dielectrophoresis which is a phenomenon that the particle is moved by the slope of the electric field. Compared with the traditional leukemia detection systems, this system using the dielectrophoresis is more attractive because of low cost, fast detection, and easy operation. With this in mind, the high frequency characteristics of the sealing creak-gap electrode to control the dielectrophoresis was investigated.
