Abstract
Methods and devices for the separation of particles () in a compartment () of a fluidic microsystem () are described, in which the movement of a liquid () in which particles () are suspended with a predetermined direction of flow through the compartment (), and the generation of a deflecting potential in which at least a part of the particles () is moved relative to the liquid in a direction of deflection are envisaged, whereby further at least one focusing potential is generated, so that at least a part of the particles is moved opposite to the direction of deflection relative to the liquid by dielectrophoresis under the effect of high-frequency electrical fields, and guiding of particles with different electrical, magnetic or geometric properties into different flow areas () in the liquid takes place.
