Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis and parametrical modeling of blood plasma separation devices with optical sorting and deterministic lateral displacement mechanisms. The new device for optical sorting is offered. The modeling with the novel device shows that this device can separate red blood cells of different sizes from whole blood. Special numerical technique with periodical boundary conditions was applied for simulation of deterministic lateral displacement. Comparison of optical sorting and deterministic lateral displacement is performed. Unexplored optical and mechanical properties of blood components and indispensability of additional researches are also discussed.
