Physical cell separation using microfluidic funnel ratchets

The separation of biological cells using non-chemical methods is important to many areas of medicine and biology. Filtration through microstructured constrictions is one such method where cells can be separated by a combination of size and deformability. This technique, however, is limited by unpre...
