Multidirectional sorting modes in deterministic lateral displacement devices.
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices separate micrometer-scale particles in solution based on their size using a laminar microfluidic flow in an array of obstacles. We investigate array geometries with rational row-shift fractions in DLD devices by use of a simple model including both advection and diffusion. Our model predicts multidirectional sorting modes that could be experiment...

(b) Micrographs of the entrance channels and a side-wall. (c) A scale drawing of the separation device. A stream of particles injected into the device is continuously separated about the critical diameter, D c. Particles smaller than the criti...
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...
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 Hydrogel Microparticles in Deterministic Lateral Displacement Devices
To better understand how deformable and non-spherical particles behave in sorting devices based on deterministic lateral displacement we generate models of biological particles with tunable size, shape and mechanical properties using stop-flow lithography and we explore how these parameters play a role in our separation devices. Hollow and solid cylinders are compared with respect to their defo...
