In certain aspects, a dialysis device includes a flow channel that includes a disposable flow-through container. The flow channel and the container contain a fluid and are in fluid communication with each other. The dialysis device also includes a toroid configured to accept, through an aperture of the toroid, at least a portion of the container. The dialysis device also includes an electromagnetic coil wrapped around the toroid, such that the coil passes around an outer surface and an inner surface of the toroid, and covers less than the entire circumference of the toroid. The coil is configured to generate an electromagnetic signal. The coil is also configured to concentrate the electromagnetic signal on the fluid in the container such that the electromagnetic signal traverses the container in a direction that is substantially parallel to the direction of flow of the flow channel. The coil is also configured to read the electromagnetic signal after it has traversed the fluid in the container.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems that facilitate the integration of on-chip impedance sensors and measurement circuitries for quantifying the impedance/frequency response of microfluidic device under the same, or similar, conditions used for particle manipulation. The methods and systems can use a microfluidic chip comprising a microfluidic channel with one or more electric-field-generating structures located therein, including a first electric-field-generating structure, wherein the one or more electric-field-generating structures is configured to selectively polarize or manipulate biologic or particle components flowing within the microfluidic channel. The method and system can also employ a circuit configured for automated determination and quantification of parasitic voltage drops during AC electrokinetic particle manipulation, without the need to use valuable biological samples or model particles. The determined impedance response can be used to assess efficacy of the microfluidic device geometry as well as to provide control signals to inform downstream cell separation decisions.
