Davalos R, McGraw G, Wallow T, Morales A, Krafcik K, Fintschenko Y, et al.
Anal Bioanal Chem . 2007 Jul; 390(3):847-55. PMID: 17624517
Efficient and robust particle separation and enrichment techniques are critical for a diverse range of lab-on-a-chip analytical devices including pathogen detection, sample preparation, high-throughput particle sorting, and biomedical diagnostics. Previously,...

Barrett L, Skulan A, Singh A, Cummings E, Fiechtner G
Anal Chem . 2005 Nov; 77(21):6798-804. PMID: 16255576
This paper presents a novel device for the dielectrophoretic manipulation of particles and cells. A two-level isotropic etch of a glass substrate was used to create three-dimensional ridge-like structures in...

Skulan A, Barrett L, Singh A, Cummings E, Fiechtner G
Anal Chem . 2005 Nov; 77(21):6790-7. PMID: 16255575
A uniform-field design approach can improve the performance of microanalytical, chip-based devices for a number of applications, including separations and sample preparation. The faceted prism paradigm allows the design of...

Lapizco-Encinas B, Davalos R, Simmons B, Cummings E, Fintschenko Y
J Microbiol Methods . 2005 Jun; 62(3):317-26. PMID: 15941604
Dielectrophoresis (DEP), the motion of a particle caused by an applied electric field gradient, can concentrate microorganisms non-destructively. In insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) insulating microstructures produce non-uniform electric fields to drive...

Mela P, van den Berg A, Fintschenko Y, Cummings E, Simmons B, Kirby B
Electrophoresis . 2005 Apr; 26(9):1792-9. PMID: 15812849
While cyclo-olefin polymer microchannels have the potential to improve both the optical detection sensitivity and the chemical resistance of polymer microanalytical systems, their surface properties are to date not thoroughly...

Lapizco-Encinas B, Simmons B, Cummings E, Fintschenko Y
Electrophoresis . 2004 Jun; 25(10-11):1695-704. PMID: 15188259
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) was utilized to separate and concentrate selectively mixtures of two species of live bacteria simultaneously. Four species of bacteria were studied: the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and the...

Lapizco-Encinas B, Simmons B, Cummings E, Fintschenko Y
Anal Chem . 2004 Mar; 76(6):1571-9. PMID: 15018553
Insulator-based (electrodeless) dielectrophoresis (iDEP) is an innovative approach in which the nonuniform electric field needed to drive DEP is produced by insulators, avoiding problems associated with the use of electrodes....

Fiechtner G, Cummings E
J Chromatogr A . 2004 Feb; 1027(1-2):245-57. PMID: 14971509
A novel methodology to design on-chip conduction channels is presented for expansion of low-dispersion separation channels. Designs are examined using two-dimensional numerical solutions of the Laplace equation with a Monte...

Fiechtner G, Cummings E
Anal Chem . 2003 Dec; 75(18):4747-55. PMID: 14674450
A novel methodology for designing microfluidic channels for low-dispersion, electrokinetic flows is presented. The technique relies on trigonometric relations that apply for ideal electrokinetic flows, allowing faceted channels to be...
