Claim 15:
16. A method for isolating an analyte in a sample, the method comprising:
(a) applying the sample to a device comprising an electrode configured to generate an electrokinetic field region and a layer in contact with at least a portion of the electrode, wherein the layer comprises a dielectric material of about 5 angstroms to about 25 angstroms in thickness, wherein the device increases the total yield of analyte capture as compared to a device that lacks a layer or has a layer that is more than 25 angstroms in thickness;
(b) producing at least one AC dielectrophoretic and/or AC electrokinetic field region; and
(c) isolating the analyte in the AC dielectrophoretic and/or AC electrokinetic field region.
