Particle focusing by 3D inertial microfluidics [PDF]
Microsystems & Nanoengineering, 2017 AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) particle focusing in microfluidics is a fundamental capability with a wide range of applications, such as on-chip flow cytometry, where high-throughput analysis at the single-cell level is performed. Currently, 3D focusing is achieved mainly in devices with complex layouts, additional sheath fluids, and complex pumping ...

Membrane-less microfiltration using inertial microfluidics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractMicrofiltration is a ubiquitous and often crucial part of many industrial processes, including biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Yet, all existing filtration systems suffer from the issue of membrane clogging, which fundamentally limits the efficiency and reliability of the filtration process. Herein, we report the development of a membrane-less

Particle pairs and trains in inertial microfluidics [PDF]
The European Physical Journal E, 2020 Abstract.Staggered and linear multi-particle trains constitute characteristic structures in inertial microfluidics. Using lattice-Boltzmann simulations, we investigate their properties and stability, when flowing through microfluidic channels. We confirm the stability of cross-streamline pairs by showing how they contract or expand to their equilibrium
