摘要
We present a novel and label-free continuous flow non-magnetic microparticle separation scheme in a microfluidic device under static magnetic fields. The separation process is conducted inside water-based ferrofluids. We exploit the difference in particle sizes to achieve binary separation of microparticles with high throughput. We demonstrate size-based separation (1 and 9.9 mu m, 1.9 and 9.9 mu m, 3.1 and 9.9 mu m) of microparticles with a minimum of 10(5) particles/h throughput and close to 100% separation efficiency.
