Common and maximum experimental values. A typical particle diameter is one micrometer for many dielectrophoretic experiments. Geometric factors (insulator-based dielectrophoresis) include gate-widths between 100 nm and 30 mm, global applied fields of 104 V/m. These two factors and ranges therein allow for all calculated values.
