ABSTRACT
Microfluidic systems mainly evolved from five fields of science and engineering which are electronics, biology, mechanical, chemistry and computer science. These systems with the combination of science and engineering are mainly utilized in four diagnostic applications which are cell analysis, enzyme analysis, organ-level diagnostics and whole blood analysis with potential markets in hospitals, pathological labs and individual households. Biological cell plays a major role in human health and can provide sufficient information for early-stage healthcare diagnostics for many fatal diseases when cells get damaged. Some diseases are critical that can become incurable over time so detection of such diseases at the cell level is very much desired. Homogenous microparticles such as polystyrene particles are used in the medical field for replicating the behaviour of biological cells for preliminary use. The dielectrophoresis technique works based on dipole movement inside cells and in the fluidic medium while under the influence of a non-uniform electric field.
