Description
Microfluidic particle focusing is essential for diverse biomedical applications. However, conventional inertial focusing techniques are limited by particle size dependency, hindering effective 3D central co-focusing of particles with varying sizes. In this study, we introduced a novel microfluidic method based on an inertial-viscoelastic-secondary flow synergistic effect (INVEST) within a composite microchannel (CMC), enabling high-efficiency 3D co-focusing of multi-sized particles.
