The American Electrophoresis Society launched the premier online resource for dielectrophoresis and the multitude of specialty sub-topics. We invited the innovators from a wide range of dielectrophoretic modes: Field Flow Fractionation DEP, Contactless DEP, Curvature-Induced DEP, Insulator Gradient DEP, 3D carbon electrode DEP, and others to write articles. This central Dielectrophoresis Resource Page provides a unique resource with the latest advancements in the DEP field. This builds upon Herbert A. Pohl's, a research scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory, Anacosta, D.C., seminal journal article on Dielectrophoresis in 1951. This electrokinetic transport mechanism “is becoming an important scientific direction with exponential growth. With over 300 papers published yearly in the past three years, it is becoming one of the main pillars of the field of microfluidics. New and effective dielectrophoretic modes and techniques are being constantly developed and reported in the literature. The great flexibility and potential that dielectrophoresis has to offer, make it suitable for applications in a wide variety of fields...” Visit and read the articles!
