Simulation of a Microfluidic Particle Concentrator and Separator

Chen C.C., Auner G.W., Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW & Wayne State University, US

A flow-through micro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) chip was optimized by using coupled multiphysics computational tools. Comprehensive simulations of temperature and flow profiles were presented for the denaturation, extension, and annealing zones on the flow-through [...]

Simulation and Optimization of a Flow-Through Micro PCR Chip

Kang J., Chen C.C., Smolinski J., Thomas R.A., Tucker J.D., Auner G.W., Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW & Wayne State University, US

We present a microfluidic particle concentrator and separator employing a large flow unit array. Each flow unit includes a nozzle, a sharp turn, a diffuser, and a flow dividing segment. After acceleration in the nozzle, [...]
