Separation of bio-particles in micro fluidic device

Abstract

Conventionally separation of bio-particle from blood is a long term process. Different methods are involved in separation of bio-particles. Bio-particles like bacteria, WBC, RBC are separated in a micro fluidic device by using pillars and applying different types of fields. In this paper, different shapes of pillars are analysed for efficient separation of bio-particles without applying different types of field, which pays way for the development of bio-particle separation filter. The overall length of the channel is 1cm and the size of the pillars is 12×15×8 μm.
