Particle Continuous Separation by Evaporation Force on Microfluidic System

چکیده
-We propose a novel microfluidic system for continues particles separation by using capillary force and evaporating force. Typically, the microfluidic system needs external force or extra pumps to drive fluids, which were caused system complexity. It is a kind of the simple method to utilize evaporation force and capillary force on driving liquid. The particles can be continuously separated according to their diameter. The microfluidic system was fabricated under room temperature processes, which was also performed particle separation by using micro beads. Because it does not need other accessory systems like micropump or power supplying device, so that it can reduce cost. This method can be used widely for continuous and precise separation on various kinds of particles, and can be functioned as an important part of disposable biochips in the future. Index Terms — evaporating force, evaporation region, particles separation.

Continuous-flow In-droplet Magnetic Particle Separation in a Droplet-based Microfluidic Platform
ABSTRACT We demonstrate a droplet-based microfluidic device in which in-droplet magnetic bead separation is performed in continuous-flow. Two droplets containing different solution for the magnetic bead separation are generated in pair-wise manner. Sequential fusion of droplets occurs by a geometrical structure. The magnetic beads are deflected by externally applied magnetic force from one side...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Device for Continuous Particle Separation Using Hydrodynamic Filtration
A size-dependent particle separation (classification) is one of the most important procedures in biochemical, environmental, or medical analyses and their applications. However, the smaller particle size or the smaller size difference makes the particle classification difficult. The Lab-on-a-Chip concept have encouraged the miniaturization of various separation or selection methods for small pa...

متن کاملVertical Hydrodynamic Focusing and Continuous Acoustofluidic Separation of Particles via Upward Migration
A particle suspended in a fluid within a microfluidic channel experiences a direct acoustic radiation force (ARF) when traveling surface acoustic waves (TSAWs) couple with the fluid at the Rayleigh angle, thus producing two components of the ARF. Most SAW-based microfluidic devices rely on the horizontal component of the ARF to migrate prefocused particles laterally across a microchannel width....

We describe phenomena of colloidal particle transport and separation inside single microdroplets of water floating on the surface of dense fluorinated oil. The experiments were performed on microfluidic chips, where single droplets were manipulated with alternating electric fields applied to arrays of electrodes below the oil. The particles suspended in the droplets were collected in their top ...
