Abstract

Microfluidics has enabled a wide range of biological and biochemical applications such as high-throughput drug testing, or point of care diagnostics. Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) is a non-destructive approach to manipulate biomolecules in a non-uniform electric field that has provided a new dimension for the precise manipulation of biomolecules. Here, we report the first iDEP-based manipulation of biomolecules, namely λ-DNA and phycocyanin within high resolution, 2-photon-polymerization (2pp) 3D-printed microfluidic devices. Our study provides insight into a novel approach of high-resolution 3D-printed microfluidic devices to explore iDEP of many nm-scale biomolecules in the future.
