ABSTRACT Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a technique which offers label-free measurement of cell electrophysiology by monitoring its movement in non-uniform electric fields. In this chapter, the theory underlying DEP is explored, as are the implications of the development of equipment for taking such measurements. Practical considerations such as the selection of a suspending medium are also discussed.
