1.1 Aims and motivation

A reliable and non-destructive purification of cell population is necessary to obtain reproducible data on the cell analysis. In order to establish the state-of-the-art, a review of the cell/particle trapping and sorting techniques has been presented, covering work done by other research groups. Electrical trapping , microfluidics , mechanical and <-Note: Reference should be added through EndNote. Select your reference in EndNote Library, and click insert citations
