CANTILEVERED COAXIAL FLOW INJECTOR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SORTING PARTICLES

摘要

An apparatus and method for sorting particles (237) in a laminar flow microfluidic channel includes a cantilevered coaxial flow injector (35) in a microfluidic device (100), the cantilevered coaxial flow injector (35) including an elongated cantilever element (35) integrated into the microfluidic device (100). A coaxial channel (200) runs through the elongated cantilever element (35), where coaxial channel (200) is sized to pass particles (237) of a predetermined size. An actuator (34) is coupled to the elongated cantilever element (35), for actuating said elongated cantilever element (35).
