Title:
粒子の操作及び/又は検出のための方法および装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009501628
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for the manipulation of particles by means of time-variable fields of force; the fields of force can be of dielectrophoresis (positive or negative), electrophoresis, electrohydrodynamic or electrowetting on dielectric, wherein a set of stable points of equilibrium for the particles are established; In an embodiment of the method, the control is made by acting exclusively on the digital signals used for controlling a deviator associated to each element of an array, through which to distribute the voltages necessary for the generation of the forces by means of an apparatus constituted by n+m digital signals.
