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 4):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the actuator is configured to decrease the gap size of the fluidic channel by increasing the pneumatic pressure within the control channel to controllably cause the deformable membrane to deflect into the fluidic channel.
