Dielectrophoresis in microfluidics technology.

چکیده
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is the movement of a particle in a non-uniform electric field due to the interaction of the particle's dipole and spatial gradient of the electric field. DEP is a subtle solution to manipulate particles and cells at microscale due to its favorable scaling for the reduced size of the system. DEP has been utilized for many applications in microfluidic systems. In this review, a detailed analysis of the modeling of DEP-based manipulation of the particles is provided, and the recent applications regarding the particle manipulation in microfluidic systems (mainly the published works between 2007 and 2010) are presented.

متن کاملField-induced Dielectrophoresis and Phase Separation for Manipulating Particles in Microfluidics
We report observations of a new electric fieldand shear-induced many-body phenomenon in the behavior of suspensions. Its origin is dielectrophoresis accompanied by the field-induced phase separation. As a result, a suspension undergoes a field-driven phase separation leading to the formation of a distinct boundary between regions enriched with and depleted of particles. The theoretical predicti...
