Abstract

We demonstrate the use of phospholipid vesicle electroformation techniques [1] to develop a new class of metrology tools for systems leveraging dielectrophoresis (DEP) to manipulate, pattern, and sort micron-scale particles. These cell-sized phospholipid vesicles, commonly called giant unilamellar vesicles or GUVs, possess specifically engineered electrical properties and thus exhibit identifiable dielectrophoretic responses in microfabricated systems.
