Dear Jeroen:

To the best of my knowledge, there is no real textbook on DEP.  There is,
of course, Herb Pohl's original classic, entitled:  "Dielectrophoresis"
(Cambridge, 1978) which has lots and lots of experimental work.  But may I
also humbly suggest your  taking a look at my  book entitled
"Electromechanics of Particles" (Cambridge, 1995)?  This monograph provides
a general treatment of how particles behave in electric fields and magnetic
fields.  Chapter 3 covers DEP.
