Abstract
We performed a direct measurement of dielectrophoretic forces on particles immersed in a fluid, in a given electrode configuration which permits particle levitation. We show that the force on several neighboring particles is much larger than that acting on an isolated particle in the same field distribution. We discuss the consequences of the measurements on the use of dielectrophoresis for material separation.
