Continuous hydrophoretic separation and sizing of microparticles using slanted obstacles in a microchannel.
We report a microfluidic separation and sizing method of microparticles with hydrophoresis--the movement of suspended particles under the influence of a microstructure-induced pressure field. By exploiting slanted obstacles in a microchannel, we can generate a lateral pressure gradient so that microparticles can be deflected and arranged along the lateral flows induced by the gradient. Using su...
متن کاملContinuous blood cell separation by hydrophoretic filtration.
We propose a new hydrophoretic method for continuous blood cell separation using a microfluidic device composed of slanted obstacles and filtration obstacles. The slanted obstacles have a larger height and gap than the particles in order to focus them to a sidewall by hydrophoresis. In the successive structure, the height and gap of the filtration obstacles with a filtration pore are set betwee...
متن کاملCell separation based on size and deformability using microfluidic funnel ratchets.
The separation of biological cells by filtration through microstructured constrictions is limited by unpredictable variations of the filter hydrodynamic resistance as cells accumulate in the microstructure. Applying a reverse flow to unclog the filter will undo the separation and reduce filter selectivity because of the reversibility of low-Reynolds number flow. We introduce a microfluidic stru...
متن کاملDeformability and size-based cancer cell separation using an integrated microfluidic device.
Cell sorting by filtration techniques offers a label-free approach for cell separation on the basis of size and deformability. However, filtration is always limited by the unpredictable variation of the filter hydrodynamic resistance due to cell accumulation and clogging in the microstructures. In this study, we present a new integrated microfluidic device for cell separation based on the cell ...
متن کاملMechanism for Cell Separation Based on Size and Deformability Using Microfluidic Ratchets
We present a mechanism for separating cells based on size and deformability using microfluidic ratchets created using micrometer-scale funnel constrictions. The force required to deform individual cells through such constrictions is directionally asymmetric, enabling rectified transport from oscillatory flow of the bulk fluid. Combining ratcheting with simple filtration enables cell separation ...
