Abstract
Embodiments of methods and devices are disclosed for the manipulation (e.g., concentration, purification, capture, trapping, location, transfer) of analytes, e.g., biomolecules, with respect to analyte-containing solutions, using one or more electric fields.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- generating an alternating electric field, between two co-extensive, elongated, electrically-conductive members;
- capturing polarizable cells in a sample, in the alternating electric field, between the two co-extensive, elongated, electrically-conductive members, and
- removing the two co-extensive, elongated, electrically-conductive members with the polarizable cells captured therebetween, from the sample, while maintaining the alternating electric field.
