Optically induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP) is effective for cell manipulation. However, its utilization has been limited by the requirement of solution with low conductivity. This issue has been ignored in ODEP-relevant studies. To address this issue, this study aims to investigate to what extent the cell viability and performance of ODEP-based cell manipulation are affected by low conductivity conditions. Additionally, this study aims to modify sucrose solutions to reduce the impacts caused by low-conductivity solutions. Results revealed the use of sucrose solution in ODEP operation could significantly reduce the viability of the manipulated cells by 9.1 and 38.5% after 2- and 4-h incubation, respectively. Prolonged operation time (e.g., 4 h) in sucrose solution could lead to significantly inferior performance of cell manipulation, including 47.2% reduction of ODEP manipulation velocity and 44.4% loss of the cells manipulatable by ODEP. The key finding of this study is that the use of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-supplemented sucrose solution (conductivity: 25–50 μS cm−1) might significantly increase the cell viability by 10.9–14.8% compared with that in sucrose solution after 4 h incubation. Moreover, the ODEP manipulation velocity of cells in the BSA-supplemented sucrose solution (conductivity: 25 μS cm−1) was comparable to that in sucrose solution during 4-h incubation. More importantly, compared with sucrose solution, the use of BSA-supplemented sucrose solution (conductivity: 25–50 μS cm−1) contributed high percentage (80.4–93.5%) of the cells manipulatable by ODEP during 4-h incubation. Overall, this study has provided some fundamental information relevant to the improvement of background solutions for ODEP-based cell manipulation. |
