Abstract :
The paper presents original contributions at manipulation of biological samples using electric field (dielectrophoresis). Design considerations, fabrication processes and experimental results of three original three dimensional (3D) dielectrophoretic (DEP) structures: DEP chip with 3D silicon electrodes, DEP chip with 3D electric field gradient and 3D filtering chip are analyzed. The paper presents also the experimental results of trapping yeast cells.
