Directional locking in deterministic lateral-displacement microfluidic separation systems.
We analyze the trajectory of suspended spherical particles moving through a square array of obstacles, in the deterministic limit and at zero Reynolds number. We show that in the dilute approximation of widely separated obstacles, the average motion of the particles is equivalent to the trajectory followed by a point particle moving through an array of obstacles with an effective radius. The ef...
متن کاملContinuous particle separation through deterministic lateral displacement.
We report on a microfluidic particle-separation device that makes use of the asymmetric bifurcation of laminar flow around obstacles. A particle chooses its path deterministically on the basis of its size. All particles of a given size follow equivalent migration paths, leading to high resolution. The microspheres of 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0 micrometers that were used to characterize the device were s...
متن کاملElectrokinetically driven deterministic lateral displacement for particle separation in microfluidic devices
migrating in different directions with respect to the array, thus causing the two-dimensional and continuous fractionation of the mixture (Huang et al. 2004; Inglis et al. 2006). Microfluidic DLD devices have been successfully applied to the fractionation of different mixtures, and in particular for cell sorting and the separation of biological material (Xuan and Lee 2013; Davis et al. 2006; Li...
متن کاملFractionation by shape in deterministic lateral displacement microfluidic devices
The ability to use microfluidic systems to fractionate a mixture of suspended particles based on their shape could lead to important applications. In the case of bioparticles, for example, shape is an important factor used to identify and characterize them. In fact, cell morphology has long been used in clinical diagnosis and it is also a marker of cell cycle (Sugaya et al. 2011; Beech et al. 2...
متن کاملSeparation of deformable particles in deterministic lateral displacement devices.
Using numerical simulations, we study the separation of deformable bodies, such as capsules, vesicles, and cells, in deterministic lateral displacement devices, also known as bump arrays. These arrays comprise regular rows of obstacles such as micropillars whose arrangements are shifted between adjacent rows by a fixed amount. We show that, in addition to the zigzag and laterally displaced traj...
