충전 액적의 전기 영동이 서포에 미치는 영향

Abstract

In this research, when method of electrophoresis of charged droplet (ECD) was used for cell manipulation, safety of that method on living cells and availability was studied. ECD one of method for droplet actuation charge up droplet first, then using electric field make droplet moving in dielectric fluid. This mechanism needs high electricity for electric field and silicone oil for dielectric fluid. Electricity higher than 1000 V seem to enough dangerous to living cells and silicone oil. For resolving this concern, influences of electricity on cells in electric field range of 1 ~ 3 kV/cm was examined, and there is almost no influences. It could be explained by faraday`s cage theory. Silicone oil is not harmful to living cells, too. As the final outcome, method of electrophoresis of charged droplet is safe to cells and can be good method on field of biological application.
