This paper presents the design, simulation, and fabrication of a MEMS based dielectrophoresis (DEP) platform for the separation and detection of the human leukemic cancer cells (K562) and its multidrug resistant (MDR) counterpart (K56/IMA-0.2 µM) from the human leukocyte mixture. The pro-posed DEP device, benefits from the 3D isolated electrodes inside a microfluidic channel. 3D elec-trodes (extruded 30 µm in z-direction) were isolated from the medium with thin parylene coating (~ 0.3 µm). In addition, the potentially-floating 3D elec-trodes were utilized to enhance the DEP separation efficiency, for the first time in the literature. These electrodes, elevates the performance of the device by extending the generated electric field gradient inside the DEP separation area. FEM electric field and incompressible Navier-Stoke analyses were utilized to study the separation efficiency of the proposed device. It is shown that under the optimized boundary conditions, the proposed device can achieve separa-tion of K562 human leukemia cells from the human leukocytes mixture, with 100% efficiency.

This study presents label-free detection of imatinib resistance in K562 cells via integrated dielectrophoretic detection and impedimetric counting on a lab-on-a-chip system. Two impedimetric counting units were placed upstream and downstream of dielectrophoretic detection unit to obtain differential cell count and consequently the trapping ratio. The trapping ratio up to 57% was achieved for imatinib resistant (~60-fold) K562 cells, while it was minimized to 20% for wild type K562 cells
Dielectric Analysis of Changes in Electric Properties of Doxorubicin Resistant K562 Leukemic Cells Through Electrorotation with 3 D Electrodes
Garsha, Bahrieh; Erdem, Murat; Özgür, Ebru; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2013-10-31)
In this study, dielectric characterization of multidrug resistant (MDR) K562 human leukemia cells was carried out using a MEMS-based electrorotation (ER) device with 3D electrodes. Different cell populations were utilized, which were resistant to 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 μM doxorubicin. The ER devices with 3D quadruple electrodes (30 urn in height) were used, in order to eliminate the fringing field effect on the rotation of cells. Signals in phase quadrature were applied to the polynomial electrodes, to induce th...

This study reports the use of electrorotation (ER) technique within a micro-fabricated device with 3D electrodes for dielectric characterization of Imatinib-resistant K562 (K562/IMA-0.2) human leukemic cells. The ER devices with 3D quadruple electrodes (30 mu m in height) were used in order to eliminate the fringing field effect on the rotation of cells. To induce the rotational moment on the cells, signals in phase quadrature were applied to the triangular electrodes. The rotation of cells measured at the ...
Electrochemical polymerization of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole as a novel immobilization platform for microbial sensing

Two types of bacterial biosensor were constructed by immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells on graphite electrodes modified with the conducting polymer; poly(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole) [SNS(NO2)]. The measurement was based on the respiratory activity of cells estimated by the oxygen consumption at -0.7 V due to the metabolic activity in the presence of substrate. As well as analytical characterization, the linear detection ranges, effects of electropo...
Micropatterned Surfaces Expose the Coupling between Actin Cytoskeleton-Lamin/Nesprin and Nuclear Deformability of Breast Cancer Cells with Different Malignancies.
Antmen Altunsoy, Ezgi; Hasirci, Vasif (2021-01-01)
Mechanotransduction proteins transfer mechanical stimuli through nucleo‐cytoskeletal coupling and affect the nuclear morphology of cancer cells. However, the contribution of actin filament integrity has never been studied directly. It is hypothesized that differences in nuclear deformability of cancer cells are influenced by the integrity of actin filaments. In this study, transparent micropatterned surfaces as simple tools to screen cytoskeletal and nuclear distortions are presented. Surfaces decorated wit...
