Development of Coplanar Electro-Wetting Based Microfluidic Sorter to Select Micro-Particles in High Volume Throughput at Milliliter Amount within Twenty Minutes.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports the work of developing one coplanar microfluidic sorter while using the electro-wetting on dielectrics (EWOD) technique. When connected with delivery capillary to receive sample solution containing micro-particles, this device can select about 10 micro-particles in high volume throughput of milliliter amount within 20 min, to potentially match the requirement of efficiently determining the low amounts of bacteria in concentrated food and environmental samples, of which the typical bacteria density is 10 colony forming unit or less, much smaller than that of clinical pathogen samples. This coplanar T-shape EWOD device contains two fluidic channels, one inlet channel and the other collection channel stemmed from the middle of inlet channel. When the solution droplet falls
