Dielectrophoresis: Using Inhomogeneous AC Electrical Fields to Separate and Manipulate Cells
Abstract
Dielectrophoresis is the motion of particles caused by electrical polarization effects in inhomogeneous (nonuniform) electric fields. Unlike electrophoresis, the particles do not require a net electrical charge for motion to occur and AC rather than DC fields are employed to exploit the dielectric properties of the particles. Factors controlling the effective dielectric properties of cells and microorganisms include electrical double layers associated with surface charges, the conductivity and permittivity of their membranes and any cell walls, and their morphologies and structural architectures. In recent years, several laboratories have developed separation and manipulation techniques for cells and microorganisms based on dielectrophoresis, using both static and traveling AC fields. In this article, the basic physical factors influencing the dielectrophoretic behavior of particles are outlined, and ways in which these can be employed to achieve selective separation of cells and microorganisms are described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
