Abstract

New experimental results and theory for a unique MEMS device are presented for continuous, binary separation of erythrocytes (RBC) and leukocytes (WBC) based on particle diameter. Previously, we reported the device can separate 5μm, 8μm and 10μm beads as well as two groups of cells in human blood [1]. In this paper, the critical diameter for separation is successfully predicted with simulation and confirmed with experiment. The separation function (lateral displacement versus particle size) was measured experimentally. Separation of labeled leukocytes confirms the device operation. Combined with previous results, leukocyte separation in single device is demonstrated with 91% efficiency.
