Page 3 II. DEP theory (1) The time averaged dielectrophoretic force acting on a spherical particle, immersed in a medium and exposed to a spatially non-uniform electric field can be described by. The dipole component of the DEP force is εm is the electrical permittivity of the surrounding medium, Rp is the radius of the particle, is the gradient of the square of applied electric field magnitude Powerpoint Templates Page 4 II. DEP theory (2) For a dielectric uniform sphere, such as a bead, it is given by K (ω) is the frequency dependent ClaussiusMosotti (CM) factor, ε* is the complex permittivity of the medium (m) or particle (p) and defined by where ε and σ are the permittivity and conductivity of medium or particle, respectively, and j is √(-1). Powerpoint Templates Page 5 II. DEP theory (3) > 0 it will induce positive-DEP and the particle will move toward the high intensity electric field < 0 it will induce negative-DEP and the particle will move toward the low intensity electric field So the direction of the DEP force is determined by the CM factor, and the magnitude of the DEP force is determined by the applied electric field and the size of the particle.
