| Abstract | Viscoelastic flow has been widely used in microfluidicparticleseparation processes, in which particles get focused on the channelcenter in diluted viscoelastic flow. In this paper, the transitionfrom single-stream focusing to multiple-streams focusing (MSF) inhigh viscoelastic flow is observed, which is applied for cell separationprocesses. Particle focusing stream bifurcation is caused by the balancebetween elastic force and viscoelastic secondary flow drag force.The influence of cell physical properties, such as cell dimension,shape, and deformability, on the formation of multiple-streams focusingis studied in detail. Particle separation is realized utilizing differentseparation criteria. The size-based separation of red (RBC) and white(WBC) blood cells is demonstrated in which cells get focused in differentstreams based on their dimension difference. Cells with differentdeformabilities get stretched in the viscoelastic flow, leading tothe change of focusing streams, and this property is harnessed toseparate red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The achieved results promoteour understanding of particle movement in the high viscoelastic flowand enable new particle manipulation and separation processes forsample treatment in biofluids. |
