A method and a device for a microfluidic separation enhancement according to size of the particles to be separated are provided. An asymmetric obstacle in a shape of a cambered hydrofoil, placed at a downstream of a microfluidic channel increases a distance between particles of different sizes, wherein the particles have been partially separated at an upstream of the microfluidic channel, resulting an enhancement in the separation efficiency. Thus, microchannel length is decreased, resulting a decrease in hydraulic resistance and footprint of the microchannel.

Method of microfluidic particle separation enhancement and the device thereof

A microfluidic device is provided. The microfluidic device is used for an in vitro selective capture of biological entities suspended in a medium based on an immunoaffinity technique. The microfluidic device includes symmetric hydrofoil pillars arranged inside ellipse segments acting as a microfluidic channel, wherein the microfluidic channel provides a continuous change of attack angles between the symmetric hydrofoil pillars and the biological entities.
