Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an effective method to manipulate cells. Printed circuit boards (PCB) can provide inexpensive, reusable and effective electrodes for contact-free cell manipulation within microfluidic devices. By combining PDMS-based microfluidic channels with coverslips on PCBs, we demonstrate bead and cell manipulation and separation within multichannel microfluidic devices.

Source: Laboratories of Gary Lewandowski, Dave Strohmetz, and Natalie Ciarocco—Monmouth University A multi-group design is an experimental design that has 3 or more conditions/groups of the same independent variable. This video demonstrates a multi-group experiment that examines how different interethnic ideologies (multiculturalism and color-blind) influence feelings about diversity and actions toward and out-group member. In providing an overview of how a researcher conducts a multi-group...
FAQs
Each channel contributes a controllable radiofrequency magnetic-field component. Adjusting the amplitude changes the strength of that contribution, while adjusting the phase changes its timing relationship with contributions from other channels. Coordinating both variables allows the combined B1 field to be tailored across the imaging region, which can improve spatial coverage and support more controlled excitation or signal detection.
Independent channels provide separate pathways for radiofrequency transmission or signal reception. On reception, their signals can support parallel acquisition, helping increase imaging speed. During transmission, coordinated channel settings shape the applied B1 field through parallel transmission. These functions use the same multi-channel architecture but address different stages of MRI operation: collecting spatially distributed signals versus controlling the transmitted field.
Field contributions from multiple channels must be coordinated not only for image quality but also for radiofrequency power deposition. The amplitude and phase settings that produce a useful B1 pattern can influence how radiofrequency energy is distributed during imaging. Consequently, advanced coil design considers field control and power deposition together, especially when tailoring excitation for high-resolution or functionally demanding MRI studies.
Operation begins by assigning radiofrequency transmission or reception roles to the independently controlled channels. During transmission, the system coordinates channel amplitudes and phases to produce the intended B1 field. During reception, the channels detect separate signal contributions that can be combined for image formation or parallel acquisition. This coordinated workflow links coil control directly to coverage, speed, and image quality.
They are particularly useful when an experiment requires improved spatial coverage, higher signal-to-noise ratio, or faster imaging. The overview identifies high-resolution anatomical studies, functional imaging, and advanced MRI system design as important applications. In these settings, independent channel control can provide tailored field behavior while supporting acquisition strategies that exploit multiple signal pathways.
These coils enable investigators to examine how independently controlled radiofrequency fields combine to produce a desired B1 distribution and how separate detected signals contribute to imaging. The resulting control connects electromagnetic field behavior with measurable outcomes such as spatial coverage, signal-to-noise ratio, and imaging speed. This makes the technology relevant to both MRI physics and system optimization.
