| Resumo: | Passive microfluidic devices have long been a topic of interest due mainly to its associated low cost and easy fabrication, when compared with active microdevices, since passive microdevices do not need any electronic, mechanical or acoustic components. A passive microfluidic device with several stages of cross-flow filtration barriers and a sequence of three hyperbolic contractions in each outlet was used in this work. The experimental set-up has a high-speed camera combined with an inverted microscope where the image sequences were obtained at a frame rate of 2000 frames/s with a constant flow rate controlled by a syringe pump. The images sequences recorded during the flow visualizations were analyzed and processed by using image processing tools from the Image). software. It was measured the cells separation efficiency and it was obtained about 44% of RBCs separation from plasma. The deformability analysis has shown that the RBCs deformability is correlated with the presence of pathological blood. |
