What are the Challenges and Limitations of Dielectrophoresis?
Despite its advantages, DEP also has some challenges and limitations:
Complexity of Setup: Setting up DEP systems can be complex and may require specialized equipment and expertise. Heat Generation: High electric fields can generate heat, which may affect temperature-sensitive samples. Material Limitations: Not all materials respond equally to DEP, limiting its applicability in some cases. Particle Aggregation: High concentrations of nanoparticles may lead to aggregation, which can affect DEP efficiency.
