Simulation of dielectrophoresis using MATLAB, modeling of the behavior of erythrocytes in an electric field, using dielectrophoresis, a process that allows manipulating biological and non-biological particles by applying an electric field.
- The electric field generated by positively and negatively charged electrodes is simulated, and the trajectory of erythrocytes through this field is modeled.
- The electric field is calculated both with and without a potential gradient, and the interaction of the particles with the charged plates is plotted.
- Erythrocytes move depending on the electric force they experience, which allows to know the probability of malaria infection depending on the trajectory.
- Electric field calculation: Simulates the electric field in a region of space with different configurations of charges.
- Erythrocyte motion modeling: Integrates the movement of erythrocytes according to the dielectrophoresis force and their charge.
- Provides plots of the electric field, potential distribution and particle trajectory in the field.
- Infection probability analysis: Evaluates the probability of infection of an erythrocyte based on its trajectory through the electric field.
