title = "Rapid concentration and manipulation of colloids and microorganisms through double layer polarization electrokinetics",
abstract = "This paper reports on a novel electrokinetic technique that can concentrate, translate, and sort colloids and microorganisms. This technique, termed rapid electrokinetic patterning (REP), uses electric double layer polarization electrokinetics for particle manipulation which is fundamentally different from dielectrophoresis which uses Maxwell-Wagner interfacial polarization. Therefore REP provides a new scheme for electrokinetic sorting based on the surface characteristics of particles and their electric double layer behavior. The concentration and sorting of bacteria (Shewanella Onidensis MR-1, Staphylococcus aureus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is demonstrated herein. Also, a new non-optical REP system is introduced providing increased portability and larger colloid concentration size.",
