Abstract
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.
