Dielectric spectroscopy (DS) is a non-invasive, label-free, fast, and promising technique for measuring dielectric properties of biological cells in real time. We demonstrate a microchip that consists of electro-activated micro-well arrays for positive dielectrophoresis (pDEP) assisted cell capture, DS measurements, and negative dielectrophoresis (nDEP) driven cell unloading; thus, providing a high throughput cell analysis platform. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first microfluidic chip that combines electro-activated micro-wells and DS to analyze biological cells. Device performance is tested using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (yeast) cells. DEP response of yeast cells is determined by measuring their Clausius-Mossotti (CM) factor using biophysical models in parallel plate micro-electrode geometry. This information is used to determine the excitation frequency to load and unload wells. Effect of yeast cells on the measured impedance spectrum was examined both experimentally and numerically. Good match between the numerical and experimental results establishes the potential use of the micro-chip device for extracting sub-cellular properties of biological cells in a rapid and non-expensive manner.
