Barcoded particles revealed different ΔE responses for microsphere arrays of different arrangements. (i) Mesh view of the microfluidic channel with the barcoded particle and an array of microspheres (MS); in (a) rows of two across, (c) with a diagonal array of two MS, and (e) in columns of two MS attached to the bottom of the barcoded particle. (ii) Transverse view of the barcoded particle with an array of MS; in (a) rows of two between each barcoded region, (c) in columns of two MS, and (e) with a diagonal array of two MS. COMSOL modeling of the differential bipolar electrical signature, ΔE, measured for the barcoded particle with no adsorbed MS (blue), (b) MS arrays two across (orange), (d) with diagonal arrays of two MS (green), and (f) MS arrays of two in columns (green). Here, a 10 µm MS was modeled, and the different orientations of MS assembled on the barcoded particle can be visualized through unique electrical responses.
