    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of methods, apparatus, systems, compositions, and articles of manufacture relating to identifying the source of bioparticles, such as bioparticles shed by an organism. In embodiments, a method may include collecting a sample of bioparticles from the environment, selecting from that sample the bioparticles most informative for identifying their source, and gathering data from those bioparticles to form bioparticle signatures; the bioparticle signatures may be processed into a multi-dimensional vector which may be compared to a multi-dimensional vector derived from a standard using a pattern recognition strategy. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a particle collection device to collect a sample, a transfer device to select bioparticles, and a detector that restricts the movement of the bioparticles; the restricted movement may be used to produce a bioparticle signature.

    Abstract: Provided are dielectrophoresis (DEP) devices and methods that allow cell sorting to identify, isolate, and/or separate cells of interest based on electrical and physical properties of the cells. Particularly, provided are systems and methods for manipulating particles suspended in a fluid, e.g., cells, micro- or nano-particles, using their electrical signatures. Such methods can be performed using DEP, iDEP, and/or cDEP (contactless dielectrophoresis, where direct contact between the electrodes and the sample is avoided). Typically, an electric field is induced in a sample comprising the target particles and/or cells, such as cancer cells, and the spatial distribution of cells is measured to identify one or more characteristics or properties of the cancer cells. The identified characteristics of the sorted cells can be used to determine drug efficacy and/or resistance with respect to the cells.

    Abstract: The present application provides a magnetic rack for separating magnetic particles from a non-magnetic medium. The magnetic rack comprises a supporting housing having a top side, a bottom side, two opposite lengthwise sides, and a cavity, wherein at least one magnet is disposed in the cavity, each lengthwise side is attached with a receiving member, and the top side has at least two sockets. The magnetic rack further comprises a pair of supporting walls, wherein each supporting wall has a fixing member introduced onto or into the receiving member to tightly connect the supporting housing with the pair of supporting walls. With the coupling of the receiving member and the fixing member, the supporting wall and the supporting housing can be tightly connected together, therefore the shake of the magnetic rack or the sample vials inserted in the magnetic rack can be significantly avoided. In this way, the magnetic particles can be effectively separated from a non-magnetic medium in the sample vial.
