This study proposes a capillary dielectrophoretic chip to separate blood cells from a drop of whole blood (approximately 1 mu l) sample using negative dielectrophoretic force. The separating efficiency was evaluated by analyzing the image before and after dielectrophoretic force manipulation. Blood samples with various hematocrits (10%-60%) were tested with varied separating voltages and chip designs. In this study, a chip with 50 mu m gap design achieved a separation efficiency of approximately 90% within 30 s when the hematocrit was in the range of 10%-50%. Furthermore, glucose concentration was electrochemically measured by separating electrodes following manipulation. The current response increased significantly (8.8-fold) after blood cell separation, which was attributed not only to the blood cell separation but also to sample disturbance by the dielectrophoretic force.
