Abstract

We applied a mobile floating microelectrode to trap and transport cell organelles in a selective and releasable manner. This selectivity is driven by the different dielectrophoretic (DEP) potential wells on the JP surface that are controlled by the frequency of the electric field, along with the hydrodynamic shearing and size of the trapped organelles. Hence, the active carrier constitutes an important and novel ex vivo platform for manipulation and mechanical probing of subcellular components of potential for single cell analysis.
