This paper proposed a technique to introduce the membrane protein into the lab-on-chip analysis system having a planar lipid bilayer. The proposed technique utilized a dielectrophoretic(DEP) force generated by the asymmetric configuration of the solid electrodes on the aqueous buffer separator. By applying the alternating current to the separator and the counter electrode, we manipulated liposomes...
