Randomized trial demonstrates molecular separation of biopolymers, indicating new analytical applications.

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of dielectrophoresis in manipulating biopolymers.
Fabricated micron-sized electrodes using a fluid integrated circuit (FIC) concept.
Generated a high-frequency electric field ranging from 1 kHz to 10 MHz.
Investigated molecular DEP with Avidin and other biopolymers at field strengths of 0.4-1.0 * 10/sup 6/ V/m.
DEP occurred at field strengths significantly lower than predicted by theory.
Molecular patterning methods were proposed for practical applications.
Dielectrophoretic chromatography was developed for analysis and separation of biopolymers.

Washizu et al. (2003) studied this question.
