Abstract
Development of dielectrophoretic (DEP) arrays for realβtime imaging of embryonic organisms is described. Microelectrode arrays were used for trapping both embryonated eggs and larval stages of Antarctic nematode Panagrolaimus davidi. Ellipsoid singleβshell model was also applied to study the interactions between DEP fields and developing multicellular organisms. This work provides proofβofβconcept application of chipβbased technologies for the analysis of individual embryos trapped under DEP force.
