AB  - This paper demonstrates a method for tuning elastomeric microchannels for 
      hydrophoretic separation made in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Uniform 
      compressive strain is imposed on the elastomeric microchannel between two acrylic 
      substrates by fastening the bolts. The elastomeric microchannel can change its 
      cross-section during compression, simultaneously tuning the criterion for 
      hydrophoretic ordering. The change of the channel cross-section under compression 
      is studied using a confocal microscope and finite element method (FEM). By 
      pressing the channel for hydrophoretic separation, we achieved tuning of the 
      separation criterion from 7 to 2.5 microm in particle diameter.
