Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous separation of blood cells in spiral microfluidic devices
Nivedita Nivedita,Ian Papautsky +1 more
TL;DR: Improved Archimedean spiral devices to achieve cell separation in less than 8 cm of downstream focusing length are reported, which offer a path towards possible development of a lab-on-chip for point-of-care blood analysis with high efficiency, low cost, and reduced analysis time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dean Flow Dynamics in Low-Aspect Ratio Spiral Microchannels.
TL;DR: This work is the first to experimentally and numerically investigate Dean flows in microchannels for Re > 100, and show presence of secondary Dean vortices beyond a critical Dean number, and offers new insights into secondary flow instabilities for low-aspect ratio, spiral microch channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
A high throughput microfluidic platform for size-selective enrichment of cell populations in tissue and blood samples.
TL;DR: A novel technology that integrates a passive and an active device to separate, enrich and release cells on-demand from a complex blood sample, or cancer cells derived from a tissue biopsy, with potential application in lab-on-chip platforms for liquid biopsy and diagnostics applications is demonstrated.
Evolution of secondary dean vortices in spiral microchannels for cell separations
TL;DR: In this article, a secondary set of Dean vortices in spiral microchannels has been observed for cell focusing at higher flow rates, potentially leading to higher efficiency separations at ultra-high throughput.
Sorting human prostate epithelial (hpet) cells in an inertial microfluidic device
TL;DR: This work takes advantage of the principles of inertial microfluidics and Dean drag forces in spiral microchannels for successful separation of HPET (human prostate epithelial) cells from a high grade prostate punch biopsy with high throughput and separation efficiency.
