Abstract:
1. A cell sorting system, comprising: an inlet and a source of red blood cells and cancer cells coupled to the inlet; an inertial focusing microchannel disposed in a substrate and having a downstream expanding region at a distal end, the downstream expanding region having a side wall and a longitudinal axis, and wherein the slope of the side wall progressively increases in a downstream direction, wherein the inlet is connected to a proximal end of the microchannel; a plurality of outlets connected to the microchannel at the downstream expanding region; and a plurality of fluidic resistors connected to each of the plurality of outlets, wherein each fluidic resistor imparts substantial and constant fluidic resistance to flow as compared to the inertial focusing microchannel.
