Dielectrophoretic Trapping of Neuronal Cells

In this section, it is shown that dielectrophoresis can effectively be used to trap cortical rat neurons. The trapping process was found to depend on amplitude and frequency in a nonlinear way. Several aspects were theoretically and experimentally investi
