Dielectrophoresis in hydrocarbon disperse systems

Dielectrophoretic-Field Flow Fractionation Analysis of Dielectric, Density, and Deformability Characteristics of Cells and Particles

“…In biology and medicine these include separating blood cell subpopulations, , purifying and enriching stem cell harvests, − capturing parasitized cells from blood, − and isolating circulating tumor cells from cancer patients . Nonbiological applications include characterizing and processing nanoparticles, − characterizing thin film coatings on particles, the detection of environmental toxicants , and of pathogens in water, , the characterization of minerals, , and mineral beneficiation . DEP-FFF provides greater discrimination than sedimentation-FFF − because it exploits both particle and buffer dielectric properties.…”
