ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for immobilizing biological cells based on the dielectric properties of biological cells. An inhomogeneous electric field emanating from a grid point location or other contact area is created and attracts the biological cell into contact therewith. Appropriate controls over a series of grid points permits controlled inter-grid point movement of cells thereby permitting sequential testing or sorting processes to be carried out.
