What are the Applications of Dielectrophoresis in Nanotechnology?
DEP has a range of applications in nanotechnology, including:
Nanoparticle Sorting: DEP can be used to sort nanoparticles based on size, shape, and material properties. Biosensing: DEP can enhance the sensitivity of biosensors by concentrating specific nanoparticles near the sensor surface. Nanoassembly: DEP can be used to manipulate and assemble nanoparticles into desired structures or patterns. Cell Manipulation: DEP can separate and manipulate cells and subcellular components, which is valuable for medical and biological research.
