Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for tuning an electrical field gradient for insulator-based di electrophoresis (iDEP). A fluidic layer defines a fluidic channel adjacent to a substrate. A deformable membrane is positioned adjacent to the fluidic channel. An actuator controllably causes the deformable membrane to deflect into the fluidic channel restricting a fluidic flow in the fluidic channel. A control system is configured to tune an electrical field gradient by operating the actuator to adjust a magnitude of the deflection of the deformable membrane into the fluidic channel.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the fluidic channel includes polystyrene beads with a diameter of 50 \u03bcm or less, and wherein the control system is configured to tune the electrical field gradient to cause the polystyrene beads to form into chains.
