Membrane-based filtration is widely used to harvest therapeutic proteins from their host cells in biomanufacturing. However, it is often plagued with fouling issues that require frequent filter ...

A paper by scientists at the Hangzhou Dianzi University proposed a 3D-stacked muti-stage inertial microfluidic sort chip to enrich and separate Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs). The new paper, published ...

Researchers demonstrated a way to speed up—and potentially scale up—the process for separating particles in fluids, which can be used for studying microplastics in drinking water or even analyzing ...

Researchers showed that particle deformability governs focusing in microfluidics, leading to a new model that could advance diagnostics including early cancer detection. (Nanowerk News) Scientists in ...

(a) Particle focusing in a circular and square channels (b–e) the main equilibrium patterns of particle focusing: (b) Segré-Silberberg ring, (c) MEP (Midline Equilibrium Position), (d) DEP (Diagonal), ...
