Abstract
The present invention provides a method for analyzing characteristics of a particulate, comprising: selecting at least one particulate in a fluid; positioning said selected particulate in the vicinity of a pair of electrodes; applying a programmed voltage signal for generating a spatially inhomogeneous electric field between said pair of electrodes; detecting the movement of the particulate while applying said programmed voltage signal to create a time-series data corresponding to said movement of the particulate; and analyzing the characteristics of said particulate based on said time-series data.
