In this interview segment, Rafael Davalos discusses contactless dielectrophoresis, highlighting the utility of this technique not just in cancer research, but other application areas as well.
At the 2025 edition of SciX, which took place from October 5–10, in Covington, Kentucky, Rafael V. Davalos, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, delivered a presentation titled, “Design, Development, and History of Contactless Dielectrophoresis” (1). His talk presented the development and applications of contactless dielectrophoresis (cDEP), an innovative microfluidic technique designed to overcome key limitations in electrokinetic systems, including Joule heating, contamination, and low sample viability.
