Trapping DNA Molecules in Fluids Using Electrokinetic Effects Generated by Different Electrode Geometries
Published in 2014
In this paper we present results of simulations done to predict the behavior of a system consisting of DNA molecules in an aqueous medium under the combined effect of AC Electroosmosis and Dielectrophoresis (DEP). ACEO is caused by the movement of fluid particles under the influence of the electric field. DEP is caused by polarization of the DNA particle. Two different electrode geometries convex triangular and concave triangular, have been adopted for the simulations. The objective of the exercise was to locate trapping points. From the data gathered, we can conclude that trapping points exist.
