Implication

Review demonstrates mature dielectrophoresis theory and fabrication for cellular and nanoparticle sorting, indicating expanding utility in label-free biomedical diagnostics and cell therapy.

Key Points

To review the decadal progress in dielectrophoretic theoretical modeling, microfluidic and electrode engineering, and real-world biomedical and industrial implementations.
Synthesized findings from approximately 2,000 publications spanning a ten-year period concerning dielectrophoretic theory, fabrication technologies, and applied systems.
Assessed technology translation by reviewing United States patents granted since January 2005 alongside commercial and industrial applications.
Theoretical frameworks have advanced past basic dipole approximations to incorporate multipole moments, inter-particle and boundary interactions, and nanoscale electrical double-layer effects.
Approximately 75% of the roughly 300 annual papers published on dielectrophoresis currently target practical applications, driven by advances in CMOS, photolithography, and microfluidics.
The technology enables contactless, label-free manipulation and separation of cells, bacteria, and nanoparticles, establishing critical utility for stem cell enrichment and point-of-care diagnostics.
