  • Publication number: 20180154361
    Abstract: A particle manipulation system uses a MEMS-based, microfabricated particle manipulation device which has a sample inlet channel, output channels, and a movable member formed on a substrate. The device may be used to separate a target particle from non-target material in a sample stream. In order to improve the sorter speed, accuracy or yield, the particle manipulation system may also include a microfluidic structure which focuses the target particles in a particular portion of the sample inlet channel. The device may be manufactured using three or more substrates in a wafer stack, and each device may be singulated from the wafer stack using submerged trenches in the middle substrate.
