eDEP and iDEP concept sketch. (a) Figure showing side view concept sketch of eDEP showing pearl chain formation of cell in a higher magnitude of electric field strength [68]. (b) Figure showing side view concept sketch of iDEP field constriction system used in fluid integrated circuit (FIC) for cell fusion experiments [36]. Two separate cells are fed into the FIC chamber via a micropump, and once the fusion takes place, the fused cell is transported by fluid pressure to a cell collecting chamber where further post-processing can take place.
