What is it about?
This paper reports a dielectrophoretic method for on-demand immobilization of C. elegans in a microfluidic environment, using thick electrodes and optimized parameters.

Why is it important?
considerable operations, such as neuron microcurgery and monitoring of development, require to silence the worm to achieve high-resolution imaging.
Perspectives
We believe this simple, efficient sensing and actuating lab-on-a-chip platform can largely facilitate the research of C. elegans biologists.
