In this work we describe the effect of Dielectrophoresis (DEP) on the deformation of red blood cells by measuring the change in aspect ratio. The force induced through DEP will act against the elastic force of the cell, lengthening and slimming the cell. The change in dimensions due to deformation under DEP is measured under a microscope, and when compared to DEP force applied, can provide useful...
