Ratcheted electrophoresis for rapid particle transport

Abstract

Ratcheted electrophoresis of contact-charged particles allows for high speed transport through microfluidic channels over large distances and even against fluid flows. Using a set of predictive design heuristics, we demonstrate an extension of this microfluidic ratchet to separate conductive particles from a particle suspension.
