Ac electrokinetics: a review of forces in microelectrode structures

TL;DR: In this article, the frequency dependency and magnitude of electrothermally induced fluid flow are discussed for low frequencies (up to 500 kHz) and the effects of Brownian motion, diffusion and buoyancy force are discussed in the context of the controlled manipulation of sub-micrometre particles.

Review Article—Dielectrophoresis: Status of the theory, technology, and applications

TL;DR: Current trends suggest that the theory and technology have matured sufficiently for most effort to now be directed towards applying DEP to unmet needs in such areas as biosensors, cell therapeutics, drug discovery, medical diagnostics, microfluidics, nanoassembly, and particle filtration.

Separation of viable and non-viable yeast using dielectrophoresis

TL;DR: Dielectrophoresis, the movement of particles in non-uniform AC electric fields, was used to rapidly separate viable and non-viable yeast cells with good efficiency and cell viability was not affected by the separation procedure.

Dielectrophoretic characterization and separation of micro-organisms

TL;DR: The effective electrical conductivity values for a variety of Gram-negative and positive bacteria have been determined and experimental conditions were selected where micro-organisms of different species can be separated using dielectrophoresis - the movement of particles induced by non-uniform AC electric fields.
