Adventitious Agent Clearance by Use of Spiral Inertial Microfluidics

A spiral inertial microfluidics device has been designed for use as a microfluidic sorting device. The device includes a spiral microchannel in which particles or cells of different sizes go through regions having different magnitudes of inertial and/or drag forces and equilibrate at different lateral positions in the microchannel so that those particles or cells of different sizes are separated.
