title = "Safely sorting and isolating rare sperm using dielectrophoresis by trapping the tail and simultaneously distancing the head from strong electric fields",
abstract = "Only a single sperm is required to fertilize an oocyte. Yet, it is often missed due the inefficiency of a manual search. Dielectrophoresis (DEP)is a proven method for sorting cells, even at minute concentrations, based on their electrical properties. We previously proposed safe method to sort sperm using DEP by distancing the head from the electrodes. A working prototype is presented and the efficiency of the system is evaluated in this research. Media exchange is also done on chip to minimize the time the sperm spends in the low conductivity buffer.",
