    摘要： The invention pertains to a method and apparatus to separate and quantify particles using time-variable force fields. The force fields can be for dielectrophoresis (positive or negative), electrophoresis or electrohydrodinamic. In a first aspect of the method, the fields are translated and/or modified in space at a speed substantially comparable to the speed of translation of the fastest particles in the sample so that only these follow by changing position, while the slowest particles are not affected. According to the invention the translation and/or modification of the force field can also occur with varying speed, which is especially useful when this happens with periodic law on a field with spatial periodicity. In one aspect of the method, a force field with spatial periodicity is translated and/or modified in a first direction at high speed, for such a period of time as to cause a movement equal to the spatial period of the field, and at low speed in a second direction, opposite to the first one, for such a period of time as to cancel the overall movement of the field, causing the translation of the slowest particles in the second direction and no movement of the fastest particles. In an additional aspect of the method, the field is translated and/or modified in a first direction at high speed, for such a period of time as to cause a movement equal to the spatial period of the field minus a quantity corresponding to the period of the electrodes generating it, causing the translation of the fastest particles in the first direction and of the slowest particles in the opposite direction. In another aspect of the method, the quantity or size of the particles is determined by an indirect measurement of the speed of movement after varying the force field by means of a relationship between the speed of movement and the volume of the particles. This invention also pertains to an apparatus to produce appropriate field configurations that are necessary for the selective movement of particles
