Dynamics analysis of microparticles in inertial microfluidics for biomedical applications
Inertial microfluidics-based devices have recently attracted much interest and attention due to their simple structure, high throughput, fast processing and low cost. They have been utilised in a wide range of applications in microtechnology, especially for sorting and separating microparticles. This novel class of microfluidics-based devices works based on intrinsic forces, which cause micropa...
متن کاملMalaria detection using inertial microfluidics.
Diagnosis of malaria at the early stage of infection is challenging due to the difficulty in detecting low abundance parasites from blood. Molecular methods such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) can be especially useful for detecting low parasitemia levels due to their high sensitivity and their ability to recognize different malarial species and strains. Unfortunately, the accurac...
متن کاملInertial Microfluidics: High-throughput Focusing and Separation of Cells and Particles
Here we describe a continuous particle focusing and separation system taking advantage of microscale physics but with throughput comparable to macroscale systems. The device simply consists of a single asymmetrically curved channel with tuned dimensions and flow conditions. Unlike mechanical filters, deformable and rigid particles are shown to focus and separate with equal efficiency. Additiona...
متن کاملMembrane-less microfiltration using inertial microfluidics
Microfiltration is a ubiquitous and often crucial part of many industrial processes, including biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Yet, all existing filtration systems suffer from the issue of membrane clogging, which fundamentally limits the efficiency and reliability of the filtration process. Herein, we report the development of a membrane-less microfiltration system by massively parallelizing ...
متن کاملLaser-driven inertial ion focusing.
A Hohlraum-like configuration is proposed for realizing a simple compact source for neutrons. A laser pulse enters a tiny thin-shelled hollow-sphere target through a small opening and is self-consistently trapped in the cavity. The electrons in the inner shell-wall region are expelled by the light pressure. The resulting space-charge field compresses the local ions into a thin layer that become...
