This engineering study describes a handheld microfluidic preconcentrator that uses dielectrophoresis generated by circular microelectrodes with a stepping electric field. Numerical simulations were used to illustrate the electric-field concept. In experiments, HeLa cells were reportedly preconcentrated within 160…
