uFluidix - Y-Channel Microfluidic Device

Y junction microfluidic devices are mainly used for separation applications. Usually, a heterogeneous mixture of particles such as cells enters from one side, separated at the junction, and then delivered via outlet ports. Many physical or flow characteristics could be used in Y-Channel Microfluidic devices to drive the separation such as magnetic, electrical, acoustic, thermal, laser, sheath flow, gravity, etc…. Y Channels are also used as mergers when two different flows enter from one side and a mixture exits.
