Scaling of DLD devices for cell fractionation down to a single column for ultrahigh throughput per area

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We describe the scaling of Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) devices for cell fractionation to smaller array sizes (fewer rows and columns of bumping obstacles) to increase the throughput per area, going all the way to a DLD with only a single column of obstacles. A device with one column of 14 bumping features (area of 0.6mm2) can separate particles with diameters of 4.8μm and 9.9μm at 30μL/min with >99% efficiency, representing a 10X improvement in throughput per area compared to prior cell fractionation devices in this size range.
