Experimental results on the dielectrophoretic behavior of 1 μm microspheres. a) DEP overcomes EK and trap particles by negative DEP when 1,250 V are applied with σ0 = 0.0025 S/m at the beginning of the insulating structures; b) 1,250 V are also enough to trap particles by negative DEP at the end of the post regions with σ0 = 0.0025 S/m; c) DEP overcomes EK and trap particles by negative DEP when 1,500 V are applied with σ0= 0.01 S/m at the beginning of the insulators; d) 1,500 V are not enough to overcome EK at the end of the insulating structures array when σ0= 0.01 S/m.
