Abstract
Mesofluidic separator assemblies are provided that can include at least a pair of supports configured to extend within a pressure differential axis, and at least one level of a plurality of members extending between the pair of supports. Individual members of the plurality can define a plurality of levels extending from a first level configured to have initial contact with the fluid to be separated and a last level configured to have final contact with the fluid to be separated. Sets of members can be aligned along one axis that is neither parallel nor normal to the pressure differential axis. Conduits configured to facilitate the flow of fluid along the pressure differential axis can define at least one cross sectional area that is open. Methods for size separating particles within a fluid are also provided.
