Synopsis:
Inertial focussing is a microfluidic approach utilised to sort cells based upon their size. This talk will focus on our work with this technique, scaling up the method to allow higher throughput and suitability for applications such as waterborne pathogen monitoring and stem cell sorting. The performance of spiral channels with beads in size ranges from 1-500um will be described and different approaches to stacking layers of channels for greater throughput will be described.
