A Microchannel With Repeated Sharp Corners For Single Stream Particle Focusing, Liang-Liang Fan, Xu-Kun He, Liang Zhao, Yu Han, Jiang Zhe

Dr. Jiang Zhe

A new microfluidic device for fast and high throughput microparticle focusing is reported. The particle focusing is based on the combination of inertial lift force effect and centrifugal force effect generated in a microchannel with a series of repeated sharp corners on one side of the channel wall. The inertial lift force effect induces two focused particles streams in the microchannel, and the centrifugal force generated at the sharp corner structures tends to drive the particles laterally away from the corner. With the use of a series of the repeated, sharp corner structures, a single and highly focused particle stream …
