Computational Inertial Microfluidics: Optimal Design for Particle Separation
Fluids, 2022 Following the emergence of many blood transfusion-associated diseases, novel passive cell separation technologies, such as microfluidic devices, are increasingly designed and optimized to separate red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) from ...

A microfluidic approach to rapid sperm recovery from heterogeneous cell suspensions
Scientific Reports, 2021 The isolation of sperm cells from background cell populations and debris is an essential step in all assisted reproductive technologies. Conventional techniques for sperm recovery from testicular sperm extractions stagnate at the sample processing stage,

Microfluidics for effective concentration and sorting of waterborne protozoan pathogens [PDF]
, 2016 We report on an inertial focussing based microfluidics technology for concentrating waterborne protozoa, achieving a 96% recovery rate of Cryptosporidium parvum and 86% for Giardia lamblia at a throughput (mL/min) capable of replacing centrifugation. The

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

Optimization of micropillar sequences for fluid flow sculpting [PDF]
, 2016 Inertial fluid flow deformation around pillars in a microchannel is a new method for controlling fluid flow. Sequences of pillars have been shown to produce a rich phase space with a wide variety of flow transformations.

Stretchable Inertial Microfluidic Device for Tunable Particle Separation [PDF]
Analytical Chemistry, 2020 Inertial microfluidics is a promising approach for particle separation because of the superior advantages of high throughput, simplicity, precise manipulation, and low cost. However, the current obstacle of inertial microfluidics in biological applications is the broad size distribution of biological microparticles.
