1. Oscillatory inertial focusing with diffusion limitation.
Oscillatory inertial focusing with diffusion limitation. (A) Images of the microchannel (L = 6.2 cm, H = 40 μm) with the focused 2-μm (and 1-μm) particles after tf and their corresponding Rep and α values. (B) FWHM evolution profiles of 2-μm particles from Rep = – (dot sign) and 1-μm particles at Rep = (plus sign). (C) Images of the microchannel (L = 2 cm, H = 80 μm) before and after focusing bacteria (0.8 μm) S. aureus. (D) Attained focus lengths of 1- and 2-μm particles and bacteria at varying Rep (*a shorter device is used for the bacteria experiments to achieve higher Rep).
