Abstract
This paper demonstrates how deformability-induced lift force (FD) contributes to cell focussing and separation in spiral microchannels (traditionally sorting based on size). To study FD in spiral channels a cellular model of deformability is first proposed; cells of the same size, but of different deformability, are compared in terms of hydrodynamic behaviour at different flowrates to understand the role of FD in curvilinear microchannels. Results are then used to perform a label-free enrichment of stem cell products from contaminant by-products based on their size and deformability.
