Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is the name given to the induced movement of polarisable particles in non-uniform electric fields. First described analytically in 1951, it has been used since 1966 for the analysis of cells and other bioparticles. It relies on (typically) micromanufactured, planar electrodes in microfluidic systems, and has been applied to study and separate a wide range of cells and other bioparticles. As a discipline it has become widely adopted around the world, with typically 400 publications on the subject in an average year; however, it has never attained widespread adoption in the target biological community, but to the complexities of implementation and interpretation of results. We aim to remedy that through development both of instrumentation and applications.
