Numerical study of an array of dielectrophoretic traps to quantify physical properties of single particles

Dielectrophoretic traps have been broadly studied in light of their many advantages of high controllability, ease of operation, and high efficiency. Most studies are confined to the trapping of a large number of particles and analyzing general traits of the particles. Here, we demonstrate an optimized array of dielectrophoretic traps using numerical methods. The array of traps can be used to evaluate a particle's physical properties at the single particle level.
