uFluidix - Microfluidic Devices for Separation

Capture and separation are some of the main applications in Microfluidics. There are hundreds of ways to isolate and separate target particles using Microfluidics devices. The most famous are sieve type features in micro-channels where the channel allows certain sizes to pass while holding or capturing a target particle. Other famous types are vortex based traps where interesting looking chambers on the side or inside of the main channels capture the targets based on its size and shapes. Bottleneck design micro-channels are other types of capture designs. Cancer cells, stem cells, and blood serum separation microfluidic devices are big applications here. Y-channels or serpentine channels could also be considered as separating microfluidic devices.
