Glutaraldehyde enhanced dielectrophoretic yeast cell separation

Zachary Gagnon, Jill Mazur, and Hsueh-Chia Chang We introduce a method for improved dielectrophoretic (DEP) discrimination and separation of viable and nonviable yeast cells. Due to the higher cell wall permeability of nonviable yeast cells compared with their viable counterpart, the cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde (GLT) is shown to selectively ...
