Abstract:Viscoelastic microfluidics leverages the unique properties of non-Newtonian fluids to manipulate and separate microor submicron particles. Channel geometry and dimension are crucial for device performance. Traditional rigid microfluidic devices require numerous iterations of fabrication and testing to optimize these parameters, which is time-consuming and costly. In this work, we developed a flexible microfluidic device using ultra-stretchable and biocompatible Flexdym material to overcome this issue. Our devi… Show more
