Engineering particle trajectories in microfluidic flows using particle shape.
Recent advances in microfluidic technologies have created a demand for techniques to control the motion of flowing microparticles. Here we consider how the shape and geometric confinement of a rigid microparticle can be tailored for 'self-steering' under external flow. We find that an asymmetric particle, weakly confined in one direction and strongly confined in another, will align with the flo...
متن کاملSorting Concentrated Suspensions: Particle Interactions, Emergent Behavior, and Implications for Microfluidic Separations
We present results from experiments and simulation developing a better understanding of systems of particles whose dynamics are coupled to each other through external fields (e.g. electric, hydrodynamic) and/or intrinsic properties (e.g. permanent charge). Focusing on a few real world examples, we show that particle-particle interactions lead to emergent behavior that is not seen in single-part...
متن کاملParticle sorting using a porous membrane in a microfluidic device.
Porous membranes have been fabricated based on the development of the perforated membrane mold [Y. Luo and R. N. Zare, Lab Chip, 2008, 8, 1688-1694] to create a single filter that contains multiple pore sizes ranging from 6.4 to 16.6 µm inside a monolithic three-dimensional poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic structure. By overlapping two filters we are able to achieve smaller pore size opening...
متن کاملGravity-driven microfluidic particle sorting device with hydrodynamic separation amplification.
This paper describes a simple microfluidic sorting system that can perform size profiling and continuous mass-dependent separation of particles through combined use of gravity (1 g) and hydrodynamic flows capable of rapidly amplifying sedimentation-based separation between particles. Operation of the device relies on two microfluidic transport processes: (i) initial hydrodynamic focusing of par...
متن کاملNanoparticle Sorting in Microfluidic Channels
A device capable of detecting, characterizing and sorting nanoparticles and important biological targets would be an invaluable tool both for public health monitoring and for biomedical research. We describe the development of a microfluidic device that should permit the high-throughput sorting of nanoparticles, potentially able to sort hundreds to thousands of particles per second.
