Inertial microfluidics for continuous particle separation in spiral microchannels.
In this work we report on a simple inertial microfluidic device that achieves continuous multi-particle separation using the principle of Dean-coupled inertial migration in spiral microchannels. The dominant inertial forces coupled with the Dean rotational force due to the curvilinear microchannel geometry cause particles to occupy a single equilibrium position near the inner microchannel wall....

Under laminar flow conditions, when no external forces are applied, particles are generally thought to follow fluid streamlines. Contrary to this perspective, we observe that flowing particles migrate across streamlines in a continuous, predictable, and accurate manner in microchannels experiencing laminar flows. The migration is attributed to lift forces on particles that are observed when ine...
متن کاملContinuous particle separation in spiral microchannels using Dean flows and differential migration.
Microparticle separation and concentration based on size has become indispensable in many biomedical and environmental applications. In this paper we describe a passive microfluidic device with spiral microchannel geometry for complete separation of particles. The design takes advantage of the inertial lift and viscous drag forces acting on particles of various sizes to achieve differential mig...
متن کاملDynamics 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 کاملInertial Microfluidics for Multiplexed Affinity Separation of Proteins and Cells
We present an inertial microfluidic platform for rapid, multiplexed affinity purification of proteins and cells from complex mixtures. Beads of different sizes, coated with different bait molecules bind specific proteins or cells in a single reaction step and the bound targets are then size-sorted by flowing in a spiral microchannel. We use this scheme to simultaneously purify antibodies specif...
