Method for the manipulation of particles comprising the step of generating at least one configuration of field of force acting on at least one particle, wherein it comprises the step of generating a succession over time of a plurality of different field of force configurations, characterised in that said succession over time of the plurality of different field of force configurations is generated such as to create a field of force by means of the overlapping of the effects of said plurality of different field of force configurations, the resulting effect of which on said at least one particle is different from the effect of each configuration of said plurality of field of force configurations each taken individually; said different field of force configurations are applied in a deterministic sequential manner, wherein each configuration of said plurality of forces is applied for a time window (Δti) and is repeated after a repetition period, wherein the repetition frequency is higher than the cut-off frequency of the inertial system of the particles; the cut-off frequency is defined on the basis of the formula: τ = M 6 πRη, wherein M is the mass of the particle, R is the radius of the particle and η is the viscosity of a fluid medium where the particle is immersed; the method being for the realisation of dielectrophoretic fields of force; the method comprising a step of generating at least one closed dielectrophoretic cage so as to trap at least one particle inside it, and a step of moving the closed cage along a controlled path, in which said at least one closed dielectrophoretic cage is generated and moved by applying around the particle an electric field variable in time by means of an array of first electrodes which can be individually addressed and activated and by means of at least one second electrode positioned facing towards and spaced apart from the first electrodes so as to delimit between itself and said array of first electrodes a chamber suitable for containing said particles in suspension in the fluid medium; wherein the step of generating at least one closed dielectrophoretic cage is performed by applying to at least one first electrode of said array at which said at least one cage is to be generated a voltage configuration in phase with a voltage configuration applied to said at least one second electrode, and to a group of first electrodes of said array immediately surrounding the cage to be generated a succession over time of different voltage configurations such that at least one of said first electrodes of said group is always in counter-phase with the voltage configuration applied to the second electrode. characterised in that said succession over time of the plurality of different field of force configurations is generated such as to create a field of force by means of the overlapping of the effects of said plurality of different field of force configurations, the resulting effect of which on said at least one particle is different from the effect of each configuration of said plurality of field of force configurations each taken individually;
