Dielectrophoretic behavior of leukemia cells and their drug resistant progenies. (a) The trapping ratio of K562/wt and K562/imaR cells immersed in relatively HCB (σ = 200mS/m) at 8.6 MHz under 20Vpp and at a flow rate of 1 µL/min. (b) The trapping ratio of CCRF-CEM/wt and CCRF-CEM/doxR cells in different buffers, with 110, 125, and 160 mS/m conductivity, at 6.2 MHz under 20Vpp and at a flow rate of 1 µL/min. Results are presented as mean ± stdev. * indicates significantly different results at the p = 0.05 level (n = 3).
