The predicted DEP response (i.e., f_CM) shows that pancreatic cells undergo pDEP (f_CM > 0) at 200 kHz while PBMCs undergo nDEP (f_CM < 0); all of the cells undergo nDEP at 50 kHz. Although the value of A varies with $〈{\mathbf{F}}_{\text{DEP}}〉$,¹⁴ over the range of $〈{\mathbf{F}}_{\text{DEP}}〉$ seen in obstacle arrays with a 100 V/cm applied gradient, A can be approximated as constant. The values of f_CM shown here inform the cell transport simulation; the values of A and B shown here are used to calculate P_capture. Note that the values of A reported in Huang et al. include a factor of μ (μ = 1 mPa⋅s for water); here, we report values of A without this factor, for consistency with our previous description of this capture model²⁸ and for dimensional consistency with Eq. (11) in this work (values from Fig. 2 and Table I in Huang et al.¹⁴).
