Dielectrophoretic and electrorotation behaviour of cells: Theory and experiment

  • Chapter
Bioelectrochemistry of Cells and Tissues

Part of the book series: Bioelectrochemistry: Principles and Practice ((BPP,volume 2))

Abstract

In chapter 5, Davey and Kell have provided a comprehensive description of the theoretical and practical aspects of the dielectric properties of cells, and have shown how the study of such properties can provide insights into the physico-chemical nature of biological membranes and lead to potentially important biotechnological applications. Such dielectric theories and experiments have most often been concerned with the electrical response of a cell suspension or other biological system to an imposed alternating or transient uniform electric field. However, the effects of applying non-uniform or rotating alternating fields to cells are gaining increasing attention.
