On‐chip technology for single‐cell arraying, electrorotation‐based analysis and selective release

Samuel Kilchenmann, Carlotta Guiducci, Kevin Keim, Paul Karoly Otto Ery, Mohamed Zakarya Alsaid Ali Rashed

This paper reports a method for label-free single-cell biophysical analysis of multiple cells trapped in suspension by electrokinetic forces. Tri-dimensional pillar electrodes arranged along the width of a microfluidic chamber define actuators for single c ...

Microfluidic and Electrokinetic Manipulation of Single Cells

Samuel Kilchenmann

Traditional cell assays report on the average results of a cell population. However, a wide range of new tools are being developed for a fundamental understanding of single cell's functionality. Nonetheless, the current tools are either limited in their th ...

Metal-Coated SU-8 Structures for High-Density 3-D Microelectrode Arrays

Samuel Kilchenmann, Carlotta Guiducci, Pietro Maoddi, Enrica Rollo

Electric fields can be effectively used to sense, manipulate, and move particles in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, the throughput of such devices is a critical issue, which can be effectively improved by increasing the height of the microchannels. Fo ...

Metal-coated silicon micropillars for freestanding 3D-electrode arrays in microchannels

Samuel Kilchenmann, Carlotta Guiducci, Elena Bianchi, Enrica Rollo

This paper presents a fabrication process for arrays of high-aspect-ratio micropillar electrodes, which are freestanding 3D structures that feature metal sidewalls connected to passivated planar wires. Facing vertical electrodes are considered to be a key ...

Detecting particles flowing through interdigitated 3D microelectrodes

Samuel Kilchenmann, Enrico Accastelli, Carlotta Guiducci, Elena Bianchi, Enrica Rollo

Counting cells in a large microchannel remains challenging and is particularly critical for in vitro assays, such as cell adhesion assays. This paper addresses this issue, by presenting the development of interdigitated three-dimensional electrodes, which ...

3D Integration Technology for Lab-on-a-Chip Applications

Yusuf Leblebici, Samuel Kilchenmann, Yüksel Temiz, Carlotta Guiducci

A review is presented of advances and challenges in fully integrated systems for personalised medicine applications. One key issue for the commercialisation of such systems is the disposability of the assay-substrate at a low cost. This work adds a new dim ...
