This paper introduces the first results of dielectric spectroscopy characterization of glioblastoma cells, measuring their crossover frequencies in the ultra-high-frequency range (above 50 MHz) by dielectrophoresis (DEP) techniques. Experiments were performed on two glioblastoma lines U87-MG and LN18 that were cultured following different conditions, in order to achieve different phenotypic profiles. We demonstrate here that the presented DEP electrokinetic method can be used to discriminate the undifferentiated from the differentiated cells.
