The Electric Field Cell Sorting Chip is a microfluidic chip that utilizes the action of an electric field on charged particles to achieve efficient and rapid sorting of particles in a sample.
By establishing an electric field inside the chip, the charged particles generate an electric field force under the action of the electric field, which pushes them to migrate along the direction of the electric field in the chip.
This sorting technique can be widely used in biomedicine, particle analysis and other fields to achieve selective sorting of different particles.
The electric field sorting chip has the advantages of high precision, real-time and high throughput, and is more flexible in the handling of the particulate system, providing an effective means for the rapid sorting of microscale particles.
