The reliability of multi-shell dielectric models, used to describe the ac electrokinetic behaviour of cells, has been tested by performing electrorotation and dielectrophoretic measurements on unilamellar, oligolamellar, and multilamellar liposomes of diameters ranging from 5 to 24 microm. Fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and electron spin resonance were used to characterise the morphology and membranes of the liposomes. The dielectric properties of the various types of liposomes, based on appropriate dielectric shell models, were then analysed using a general purpose, recursive, algorithm. Through simulations, the confidence levels that can be assigned to parameters derived through application of simple shell models are estimated. From this, we confirm that electrorotation data enable accurate determinations to be made of the dielectric properties of the outermost membrane of liposomes, and provide good indications of the level of complexity of the shells and internal compartments. We also demonstrate that, used with sufficient additional information, such as that provided by dielectrophoresis, electrorotation data yields unique solutions for the dielectric parameters of liposome-like particles.
