Abstract: We developed a new system for random separation of a microobject, such as a microbe, in the micro fluidic device under the microscope by using the laser trap and dielectrophoresis. An arbitrary selected single microbe was isolated in a microchannel, even though there are a large number of microbes in solution. To realize an efficient separation system, we proposed a separation cell and made it by microfabrication. The target was trapped by the laser and transported along the appropriate trajectory and was taken out from the extraction port. Total time to extract the single microbe was less than 20 seconds.
