Patent ID: 8603312

Claim:
A particle transporter, comprising: a power supply unit, for providing power signals to electrodes in the particle transporter; and a plurality of turn-around electrodes, disposed on a substrate, and arranged in a fan shape to provide an arc channel for transporting a plurality of particles, wherein the turn-around electrodes are not connected to each other, and neighbouring sides of any two adjacent turn-around electrodes in the turn-around electrodes are approximately parallel, wherein the turn-around electrodes comprise: a first turn-around electrode, having a rectangular shape; a second turn-around electrode, having a rectangular shape, wherein the first turn-around electrode and the second turn-around electrode are arranged on the substrate in a fan shape; and a third turn-around electrode, having a trapezoidal shape, a triangular shape or a fan shape, and disposed between the first turn-around electrode and the second turn-around electrode, wherein neighbouring sides of the first turn-around electrode and the third turn-around electrode are parallel to each other, and neighbouring sides of the second turn-around electrode and the third turn-around electrode are parallel to each other.
