We present a theoretical model and experimental demonstration of thin liquid film deformations due to dielectric force distribution established by surface electrodes. the spatial electric field produced pair parallel electrodes use it evaluate stress on interface through Maxwell stresses. By coupling this with Young-Laplace equation, we obtain deformation interface. To validate our theory, desi...

Abstract Dielectrophoresis (DEP) describes the motion of suspended objects when exposed to an inhomogeneous electric field. It has been successful as a method for parallel and site-selective assembling nanotubes from dispersion into sophisticated device architecture. Researchers have conducted extensive works understand DEP in aqueous ionic surfactant solutions. However, only recently, was appl...

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 revi...

As an ideal method to manipulate biological particles, the dielectrophoresis (DEP) technique has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, disease treatment, drug development, immunoassays, cell sorting, etc. This review summarizes the research in the field of bioparticle manipulation based on DEP techniques. Firstly, the basic principle of DEP and its classical theories are introduced in brief; ...

Membrane capacitance and membrane conductance values are reported for insulin secreting cells (primary -cells and INS-1 insulinoma cells), determined using the methods of dielectrophoresis and electrorotation. The membrane capacitance value of 12.57 (+/-1.46) mFm(-2), obtained for -cells, and the values from 9.96 (+/-1.89) mFm(-2) to 10.65 (+/-2.1) mFm(-2), obtained for INS-1 cells, fall within...

The dynamic effect of an electric field on dielectric liquids is called liquid dielectrophoresis. It widely used in several industrial and scientific applications, including inkjet printing, micro-fabrication optical devices. Numerical simulations liquid-dielectrophoresis are necessary to understand the fundamental physics phenomenon, but also explore situations that might be difficult or expen...

Mitochondrial dynamics play an important role within several pathological conditions, including cancer and neurological diseases. For the purpose of identifying therapies that target aberrant regulation of the mitochondrial dynamics machinery and characterizing the regulating signaling pathways, there is a need for label-free means to detect the dynamic alterations in mitochondrial morphology. ...
