DEP for Manipulation of Biomolecules<br />
<br />
• Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a phenomenon in which a<br />
force is exerted on a dielectric particle in a non-uniform<br />
electric field – <br />
<br />
<br />
Force acting on<br />
polarizable particles:<br />
Sphere of radius r,<br />
ε m = 80 for water<br />

• DEP is a technique which can be used to separate cells<br />
or molecules based on their difference in polarizability
