Analysis and Simulation of Blood Cells Separation in a Polymeric Serpentine Microchannel under Dielectrophoresis Effect

The current work presents a novel microfluidic approach, allowing full separation of blood cells. approach relies on using polydimethylsiloxane serpentine microchannel equipped with series electrodes, providing two zones. proposed design exploits the unique configuration channel along inherent difference in dielectric properties three kinds cells to achieve size-based sorting. platelets (PLTs) are subjected larger dielectrophoretic force than red (RBCs) and white (WBCs), forcing them be separated first zone. This leaves RBCs WBCs second model developed this has been used intensively examine feasibility approach. results showed content can achieved over range phase flow rates AC frequencies.
