Utilizing a combination of dielectrophoresis (DEP) and high-speed imaging, this system offers a dual-modality approach to analyze both cell morphology and dielectric properties, enhancing the ability to analyze, characterize, and discriminate cells in a heterogeneous population. A high-speed camera is used to capture images of and track multiple cells in real-time as they flow through a microfluidic channel. A wide channel is used, enabling analysis of many cells in parallel. A coplanar electrode array perpendicular to cell flow is incorporated at the bottom of the channel to perform dielectrophoresis-based dielectric characterization. A frequency-dependent voltage applied to the array produces a non-uniform electric field, translating cells to higher or lower velocity depending on their dielectric polarizability. In this paper, we demonstrate how cell size, obtained by optical imaging, and DEP response, obtained by particle tracking, can be used to discriminate viable and non-viable Chinese hamster ovary cells in a heterogeneous cell culture. Multiphysics electrostatic-fluid dynamics simulation is used to develop a relationship between cell incoming velocity, differential velocity, size, and the cell\u2019s polarizability, which can subsequently be used to evaluate its physiological state. Measurement of a mixture of polystyrene microspheres is used to evaluate the accuracy of the cytometer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios14120577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T11:26:08Z","timestamp":1732706768000},"page":"577","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Combined Dielectric-Optical Characterization of Single Cells Using Dielectrophoresis-Imaging Flow Cytometry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2301-247X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Behnam","family":"Arzhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 5V6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justyna","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 5V6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5957-4471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emerich","family":"Kovacs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 5V6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Butler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training, A94 X099 Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elham","family":"Salimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 5V6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3059-3455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Douglas J.","family":"Thomson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 5V6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8147-9882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Greg E.","family":"Bridges","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 5V6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1158\/1078-0432.CCR-06-1346","article-title":"Quantification of the Heterogeneity in Breast Cancer Cell Lines Using Whole-Cell Impedance Spectroscopy","volume":"13","author":"Han","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin.
