(online color at: www.biophotonics-journal.org) Particles/cells suspended in an inhomogeneous electric field undergoing a) positive dielectrophoresis (pDEP) and b) negative dielectrophoresis (nDEP) will move to regions of high electric field and low electric field respectively. Whether the particles are pDEP/nDEP-activated depend on the relative polarizability between the particle and the surrounding medium. Reprinted from [94] with permission from Elsevier.
