    Abstract: A method of alignment and fusion of cells with an electrical field includes firing a first fluid dispenser of an electrofusion device until a first impedance sensor in a first microfluidic channel of the electrofusion device detects a presence of a first cell. The method includes firing a second fluid dispenser of the electrofusion device until a second impedance sensor in a second microfluidic channel of the electrofusion device detects a presence of a second cell. The method includes moving the first cell and the second cell into a merging chamber of the electrofusion device by firing a third fluid dispenser of the electrofusion device, in response to alignment of the first cell in the first microfluidic channel with the second cell in the second microfluidic channel. The method further includes fusing the first cell and the second cell in the merging chamber by creating an electrical field in the merging chamber.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to a method of labeling and identifying microfluidic samples. The method can include tagging a first microfluidic sample with a first combination of markers to obtain a first labeled sample; tagging a second microfluidic sample with a second combination of markers that is different than the first combination of markers to obtain a second labeled sample; introducing a common variable to the first labeled sample and the second labeled sample. The common variable can generates a first interaction with the first labeled sample that is different than a second interaction or lack of interaction with the second labeled sample. The method can further include based on the first interaction, identifying the first labeled sample by assaying for the first combination of markers.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid manipulation system is described. The fluid manipulation system includes a microfluidic channel through which fluid is to flow. The fluid includes particles to be separated. The fluid manipulation system includes a first electrode pair on a first side of the microfluidic channel. The first electrode pair includes a top electrode formed on a lid of the microfluidic channel and a bottom electrode formed on a floor of the microfluidic channel. The fluid manipulation system also includes a second electrode pair on a second side of the microfluidic channel. The second electrode pair also includes a top electrode and a bottom electrode. The electrode pairs are to generate an alternating electrical field across the microfluidic channel.
