Abstract
Dielectrophoresis is an active microfluidic separation method. This method utilizes an uneven electric field to manipulate particles., according to their surface charge. In this numeric study., multiple parameters affecting the separation of RBCs and platelets are addressed and investigated. It was concluded that the most important parameter., is a design element; the channel geometry. Lower inlet velocity and higher voltage and frequency were also associated with better separation of the cells.
