MWCNTs can be collected by reversing the flow direction. The collecting process is shown in Figure 11. Figure 11. The collecting process for polystyrene microparticles <strong>and</strong> MWCNTs. (A) Particles injected in micr<strong>of</strong>luidic channel. (B): DEP trapping when the electric field is applied on the electrodes. (C): Collection <strong>of</strong> polystyrene microparticles with the fluidic flow. (D): Releasing captured MWCNTs by switch <strong>of</strong>f the applied electric field. (E): Collection <strong>of</strong> MWCNTs by reversing the flow direction. 5.5 More Discussions As in this work, all particles used for experiment were non-bioparticles, there are no limitations. However, causation should be experienced when the electric field stresses the live cells membrane [45]. Experimentally, strong electric field (large amplitude <strong>of</strong> alternating voltage) can generate large DEP force, which improves the separation efficiency. However, cells are damaged just in a short time after they are exposed to a very high electric field level [20] specially near the electrode tips. 108
The separation efficiency can be improved by optimising the system design. A multi-stage separation system could be one <strong>of</strong> the solutions <strong>and</strong> much work need to be conducted in order to minimise the detrimental effects <strong>of</strong> the applied electric field on live tissues. 6. Conclusion A platform for separating particles according to their dielectric response to alternating electric fields at specific frequencies has been presented. The performance <strong>of</strong> the device was simulated using CFD method. The dielectrophoretic spectrums for both polystyrene microparticles <strong>and</strong> MWCNTs were studied <strong>and</strong> compared to obtain the optimal frequency for particle separation. Experiments were carried out <strong>and</strong> MWCNTs were successfully separated from polystyrene microparticles for frequencies over 100 kHz. Particle behaviours at different frequencies were characterized <strong>and</strong> analysed. The developed device has potential novel applications such as: purifying cell suspensions with nanoscale impurities, tissues <strong>and</strong> organelles separation, as well as microelectronic <strong>and</strong> nanoelectronic device fabrications.
