N2 - A simply designed valveless switch for microparticle sorting was fabricated on a glass chip. A successful sorting of 10 μm diameter polystyrene latex beads was performed by the microfluidic system consisted of a unique electrophoretic switch and pair of parallel laminar flow streams. In applying the voltage to the electrodes placed on the banks of the flow through channel, microparticles were electrophoretically diverted across the boundary between two distinct laminar flows.
