Microfluidic plasma extraction from blood using wash-free pneumatic system by Lin, Yun Jia

“…The flow stability of the system was evaluated and found to be satisfactory, with a standard deviation of 0.23, 18.80, and 0.02 for flow rate of outlet 1, outlet 2, and the separation efficiency of 50 nm beads (to mimic plasma), respectively. Hemacytometer results showed no cells in outlet 1 and PPP, indicating good cell depletion during the plasma extraction process using the pneumatic system. …”
