Results and Discussion 2008/11/1120

The results of three force acted The three force ： dc dielectric force, hydro drag force, Lorentz force. The result ： the DEP force is times smaller than the other Lorentz force and hydro drag force The condition for the mode transition was investigated at various pressure and voltage 2008/11/1121

Actual motion of the trapped DNA The dynamic motion of trap molecule around the balanced position of the two forces, dc electric force and hydro drag force The trap position ： located near the area where the two forces are balanced The balanced position ： move as changing the ratio of the two forces 2008/11/1122

Conclusion The position and shape of trapped DNA by hydro drag force and electric force in taper shape channel was investigated at various condition The position and the shape changed as a function of the ratio of the electric force and the hydro drag force The dielectric force is times smaller than the other forces, and hydro drag force and Lorentz force were major forces in this trap. 2008/11/1123
