Abstract
A microfluidic device can include at least one separation unit defining a first chamber fluidly coupled to an opening and a trap chamber disposed downstream of the opening, and a second chamber that extends radially outwardly of the opening. The second chamber can be offset from the first chamber along a first axis of the device and along a second axis of the device. The separation unit can further comprise a membrane disposed between the first and second chambers and extending across the opening, the membrane being configured such that when a sample is received in the first chamber and the device is rotated, the sample flows across the membrane and filtrate passes through the membrane into the second reservoir and residue flows into the trap chamber.
