Use of high frequency electrorotation to identify cytoplasmic changes in cells non-disruptively

Kevin Theodric Uning

In this paper we demonstrate how the use of frequencies ranging from 50 kHz to 5 GHz in the analysis of cells by electrorotation can open the path to the identification of differences not detectable by conventional set-ups. Earlier works usually reported e ...
