Abstract
This paper presents the numerical simulation analysis of particle separation, using insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP), in a branched U-turn 2D-like nanofluidic device. Particle pathlines under positive and negative dielectrophoresis are studied. The results demonstrate the device capability to continuously separate free-flowing particles. Because the proposed separation is done across the channel width, instead of along channel length (like in capillary electrophoresis), separation quality degradation usually associated with U-turn geometries can be avoided.
