Inertial microfluidics in contraction-expansion microchannels: A review. [PDF]
Biomicrofluidics, 2021 Inertial microfluidics has brought enormous changes in the conventional cell/particle detection process and now become the main trend of sample pretreatment with outstanding throughput, low cost, and simple control method. However, inertial microfluidics in a straight microchannel is not enough to provide high efficiency and satisfying performance for ...

Inertial Microfluidics: Mechanisms and Applications
, 2016 In microfluidics, the typical sample volume is in the order of nL, which is incompatible with the common biosample volume in biochemistry and clinical diagnostics (usually ranging from 1 μL to approximately 1 mL). The recently emerged inertial microfluidic technology offers the possibility to process large volume (∼mL) of biosample by well-defined ...

A flowing pair of particles in inertial microfluidics
Soft Matter, 2019 A flowing pair of particles in inertial microfluidics gives important insights into understanding and controlling the collective dynamics of particles like cells or droplets in microfluidic devices. For rigid particles we determine the two-particle lift force profiles, which govern their coupled dynamics.
