Abstract

Here, we developed a fully-automated and field-deployable sample separation platform based on a new type of spiral inertial microfluidic device, multi-dimensional double spiral (MDDS) device, and the check-valve-based recirculation method. Benefitting from enhanced separation performance of the MDDS device and advantages of the recirculation method, efficient leukocyte separation was achieved from microliter quantities of blood (50 μL) in a fully-automated and rapid manner without any cell damage. In addition, the platform can be operated by hand-power, which renders it readily field-deployable. Furthermore, we designed a solid plastic version (in lieu of PDMS) of the MDDS device to increase reliability and manufacturability.
