Dielectrophoresis, electrokinetics, microfluidics

Ideas worth exploring (after perhapse developing and documenting a bit better)

• Franta Foret presents a vision of a planar manipulation platform based on dielectrohoresis which would move an "ensamble" of human cells some of them healthy and just a few "ill" (cancer of whatsoever). The motion response would be recorded by a camera and processed to identify the few cells which exhibit different behaviour than the majority.
• Franta Stepanek suggests to use dielectrophoresis to shape the potential/force field such that the particles located in it climb the corresponding concentration gradient (artificial chemotaxis)

Personal affairs:

• offering grad and undergrad students a possibility of a summer internship with Franta in Brno (perhaps Jakub Drs?)

Fabrication process tutorials

• Electrode array fabrication on ITO coated PET foil
• Electrode arrays on glass - evaporated metal layer from Dejvice
