Simulation and performance analysis of a novel high-accuracy sheathless microfluidic impedance cytometer with coplanar electrode layout

In medicine, life science and quality control there is a pressing need to develop simple yet accurate tools for single-cell analysis, which is the new frontier in omics [1]. Electrical phenotyping offers a non-invasive method for the analysis and characterization of particles and cells on the basis of dielectric properties [2]. Besides conventional techniques like dielectrophoresis and electrorotation (e.g., [3 –6]), the advent of microfluidic technology enabled the development of high-throughput microfluidic impedance cytometers (MICs).
