Separating microparticles by material and size using dielectrophoretic chromatography with frequency modulation
Abstract Separation of (biological) particles ( $$\ll {10}~{\upmu }\text {m}$$ ≪ 10 μ m ) according to size or other properties is an ongoing challenge in a variety of technical relevant fields. Dielectrophoresis is one method to separate particles according to a diversity of properties, and within...
