Electrokinetic platform. (A) Schematic of the formation of electrical double layer and electroosmotic flow. (B) The four forces acting on a charged particle in the electrophoresis experiment. Force 1 is the electrostatic force between the charged particle and the electric field. Force 2 is the viscous drag. Force 3 is the electrophoretic retardation. Force 4 is the electrophoretic relaxation. (C) Schematic of AC electroosmosis. (D) Schematic of AC electrothermal flow. (E) Schematic of dielectrophoresis.
